Description:

This workshop/webinar is the second in a three part series exploring congregational conflict.  How do we bring our “best self” to the table so that we can engage with others in the work of constructive conflict transformation?  This webinar will focus on the skill of resourcefulness. We will learn strategies for clarifying our conflict goals, examine methods for assessing when and how to step into conflict, and identify communication traps that lead to the escalation of conflict rather than towards resolution. 

Presenter:
