COMMUNICATION - two sessions

CONFLICT RESOLUTION & ACCOUNTABILITY - one session

On average at least 25% of a leader's time is spent in conflict resolution in the workplace.  Holding people accountable and resolving conflicts remain one of the biggest complaints that employees have of the people in their organizations.  The biggest reason for not holding people accountable and resolving conflict is that uncomfortable feeling of not knowing quite how to handle the situation.  Learning the various strategies of conflict resolution will eliminate that feeling of uneasiness and get you on the path of handling conflicts and situations as they arise, as well as holding people accountable for their actions.

TEAMBUILDING - one session
