Thank you for your interest in Bacal & Associates Conflict Prevention At Work Seminar
Do Not Miss!
Conflict Prevention In the Workplace - Using Cooperative Communication is an excellent way to learn how to change how you communicate so that you don't create unnecessary conflict for yourself and others. Best yet, you can even preview much of it free of charge.
Click here to get more information about this book by best selling author Robert BacalAfter 10 years teaching people how to defuse conflict situations, it occurred to me that maybe we should spend more time preventing unnecessary conflict rather than always fighting large forest fires. Several years ago I wrote Conflict Prevention In The Workplace which defined two different types of language; that which causes conflict and that which creates bridges.
That's what this seminar is about. It is intended to teach people to get along more effectively by helping them learn better language and conflict prevention skills. As such is is one of the only seminars of its type, which focuses on prevention.
This seminar is customized and is one day long (although longer more intense sessions can be arranged).
Following is additional information.
Intent is to:
- prevent unnecessary conflict from happening
- reduce
the chances that minor conflict will escalate
- reduce
conflict personalization (personality conflict)
- maximize the positive outcomes of conflict and minimize the negative outcomes
As with all our seminars, we will be delivering this on an intact workgroup basis at the request of client organizations. This allows us to deal with the specific problems of a particular workplace by basing the final content on an appropriate needs assessment.
However the following is some of the content that can be included (we can offer both one and two day workshops).
- Generating
Models of Conflict
- Origins

This workshop is ideal for use within a team-development context to minimize internal conflict among team members and focus them on the problem solving at hand. It also fits for supervisors, staff and managers who would like to reduce the amount of unnecessary conflict in their workplaces. Special sessions can be arranged for managers only.
