Much wider than I had envisioned. Interesting and applicable to a wide audience. Excellent summary, with a very comprehensive list to refer to. The trainer's presentation: Excellent, very organised, friendly and professional.

Summary on the
reasons for the conflict management training:
You
work with your colleagues, customers, and suppliers. You
do this by giving them the best products, services and information that you
can.
But
sometimes, people do the wrong things and you need to give them, what you might
call, Negative feedback: or Constructive criticism.
But
the problem is: most people don’t like
giving criticisim: and they certainly don’t like receiving criticism.
So
then, you find yourself stuck in a conflict situation.
And
all conflict situations need to be handled carefully.
Therefore
you need to have a good method for handling conflict situations. You
need a rational approach to conflict management.
Conflict
management training.
This
one day Conflict management training is designed to demonstrate and teach
correct conflict management principles: it is designed to help you to manage
any conflict situation:
It
provides a reference point to enable you to deal with conflicts in a clear,
rational, assertive, and non-aggressive manner.
On
this course, you will learn exactly how to handle conflict situations and
difficult people.
You will learn what to do: If
you sometimes say to yourself “I know what I mean but I can’t explain it”
If
you believe that the conflicts may sometimes be based on a miscommunication If
you have to handle strong, confident characters that you find difficult to deal
with If
you have to handle moody, emotional characters that you also find difficult If
you sometimes lose your temper and make the conflict situation worse - not
better, by saying too much ; or If
you leave it and just hope the situation will resolve itself If
you wait and wait and wait ....and then let rip! If
you are unsure when it is right and when it is NOT right, to compromise If
any of the above descriptions fit you, then the course will be a benefit.

Part one – AM Resolving conflicts that may be based on poor
communication. The need to act from professional principles, not by your feelings or
mood. In order to manage people properly, don’t act according to your emotions
and your mood. Instead act according to a proper
method.
The need for clear communication. The conflict may be based upon miscommunications caused by unclear
communication. Conflict resolution requires clear language, and the accurate use of
words.
How to define your meaning and avoid unnecessary miscommunication. There are many words that cause conflict due to their multiple meanings. It is important to clarify often
quoted but ill defined words.
Examples:
Fair – unfair.
Attitude problem.
Unprofessional.
Appropriate dress.
Remember that your conflict management skills boil down to your ability
to
get the words right!
Focus on what CAN BE DONE, not on what cannot be done. Many people talk for too long about what cannot be done and why it
cannot be done.
We need people to talk about what can be done and how it can be done.
Distinguish between legitimate criticism and cynicism
Criticism is legitimate.
Cynicism is not.
How to distinguish between the legitimate complainer and the negative
cynic. How to improve your listening skills
Managing confrontational situations Conflict is inevitable and could even be beneficial but ONLY IF it is
managed according to correct conflict management principles.
On this course, you will learn exactly how to handle conflict situations
and difficult people.

Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
The delegates practice by doing exercise with the trainer.
All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
(At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).
Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment
by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can
relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
