Who Should Take Part?

Everyone should benefit from participating in this webinar.

Why you should take part:

Disagreements are inevitable and they are often perceived in a negative light. However, through more honest and constructive conversations, a disagreement can be positive and even result in you retaining or winning new business.

A culture in which disagreements are seen in a positive way will also encourage creativity and openness.

This session will teach you how to recognise the "spark" that leads to a disagreement and then how to manage the interaction towards a positive outcome.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • identify why and how disagreements arise.
  • explain the key skills that can be learnt to successfully manage disagreements.
  • implement a strategy to turn disagreements into a positive out outcome for all involved.
