Synopsis

Conflict in education is complex. People in education are often asked to respond quickly, communicate carefully, all while balancing relationships, Board policy, public expectations, and student well-being. Whether it is a parent escalation, a staffroom dispute, a grievance, or a community controversy, the ability to navigate conflict constructively is a core skill.

This immersive four-day workshop equips education professionals with a practical framework for negotiation and conflict resolution. Participants learn how to move beyond positions, uncover underlying interests, manage strong emotions, and guide conversations toward workable outcomes.

Through structured role plays, live coaching and realistic education-specific scenarios,, participants build skills they can use in parent meetings, grievance settlement discussions, to resolve issues between staff and admin, student conflicts, and issues in the community. The goal is simple: help people in education resolve conflict more effectively while preserving the trust and working relationships their roles depend on.
