Conflict management is essential in the workplace … and it all starts with how you manage your thoughts.
The impact of an individual’s thoughts on their behaviors is a concept that has been well-researched and established in the field of psychology. Empirical research has shown that one of the most effective ways to avoid destructive behaviors is to address the automatic thoughts that individuals possess when faced with an emotional or stressful situation.
In this webinar, individuals will learn about the destructive responses to conflict that they see in others as well as themselves. By looking at these responses, individuals gain insight about the impact of their behavior on others and the subsequent importance of changing their behaviors. Additionally, individuals will learn about the automatic thoughts they possess that can lead to these harmful reactions to conflict and how their own unique individual characteristics inform these thoughts.
