Operators and product managers who are tired of all the ‘people &amp; process stuff’ getting in the way of key outcomes.

Managers of cross-functional teams or partner-facing leaders who want proven tools to facilitate groups to achieve their purpose.

We’ve all been in meetings that are hijacked by conflict and difficult personalities. By the end of this 3-hr workshop, you’ll be able to diagram complex group dynamics and navigate conflict to help any group — your team, your organization, or your client — realize their purpose. You will learn how to identify unhelpful patterns, separate underlying positions from interests, develop shared action agendas to address underlying challenges, challenge unproductive behaviors, and ultimately, create a container for productive conflict. Participants will also complete and reflect on a conflict self-assessment, and practice these newfound skills in interactive exercises and scenarios. There will also be opportunities for live coaching on specific use cases participants are facing. This workshop is part of the Facilitation Leadership Lab, a live, online, cohort-based course for rising and established leaders who want to sharpen their facilitation skills in order to unlock their organization’s potential, accelerate their career path, or grow their consulting practice.
