Using Conflict Creatively
Innovation requires conflict. Performance peaks when we are challenged. Yet, with tight resources, rapidly changing technology, and multiple generations in the work place, a delicate balance is required to use conflict creatively before it gets destructive.
Karen Valencic will facilitate blending martial arts and science to demonstrate how conflict can be used in a creative way. Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective about conflict and skills to practice everyday.
The teaching style includes visual demonstrations, interactive exercises, light physical movement, and lecture. All learning styles are addressed in the program making it ideal for all types of learners. Enhanced leadership skills and the ability to cope with change are natural by-products of this program.
