Transform Difficult Interactions"

Got Conflict? Find your Conversation Peace.

Most people have come to accept that conflict is inevitable. Assertive communication promotes healthy boundaries and can transform conflict during difficult conversations.

The purpose of this workshop is to specifically address, "What do I say and do" when dealing with people during difficult situations to avoid destructive patterns. Participants will learn how to control their anger and emotions, be assertive and effectively defuse conflict through a variety of applied approaches. Multiple techniques will be discussed to demonstrate that practical solutions are attainable through a variety of step by step methods.

IDENTIFY THE IMBALANCE OF CONTROL DRAMAS

"Refrain from Giving a “Piece

of Your Mind” & Find Your

“Peace of Mind"

Most of us will unconsciously resort to a control drama to essentially “get our way with others’ during a difficult interaction. These behaviors allow us to control them by making them pay attention to us and then elicit a certain response from them to make ourselves feel fulfilled. The drama can help affirm our self-esteem, protect our freedom and allow us to avoid being controlled. The positive feelings we gain are won at the expense of the other person and this often causes imbalance and drama in our interpersonal relationships. You will learn about common control dramas, which are often habitual, and how to best navigate them through step by step applied approaches that really work. And with awareness, comes change.
