from conflict to constructive collaboration

welcome to the fascinating world of conflictology

Introductory workshop

“

“Although most people are not aware of it, the invisible undercurrent of group dynamics can create a group effect that is more powerful than the sum of the parts, or it can destroy the group.”

(Manfred Kets de Vries)

for whom?

This brief workshop is for people managers and professionals who deal with lingering tensions, surprising and irrational group dynamics, and recurring incidents in their team, department or organization. For those who realize they have to do something about it.

Get introduced to the fascinating world of group dynamics that holds a treasure of insights for you. This perspective offers you practical frameworks and group methods to interve in a conflict with a focus on learning and development.

For people who wish to understand the specific logic of group behaviour and wish to take a closer look at their personal conflict resulution skills.

And also welcome with all your questions about conflict and collaboration!

Why this workshop?

Collaborative conflicts cost a lot of negative energy and generate incredible human suffering. Many people are astonished to see what happens in conflicts and how to make sense of emotional outbursts, childish behaviour or ongoing negative habits.

Maybe you also wonder what to do and how to address difficult situations.

Many of us have actually never learned how to constructively deal with differences of opinion, arguments, an undercurrent of tension or open fights.

Fortunately you can learn how to approach conflicts! Welcome to the programs of Circles Academy!
