ABOUT THIS ONLINE WORKSHOP
Even in less challenging times, one of the most difficult parts of our work is managing and preventing escalations. Whether it is an upset parent, student, or colleague, escalation incidents and unproductive conflicts can be daunting and deplete us of significant time and energy. In a virtual environment, and with so much at stake, conflict can arise and escalate quickly, leading to low morale and productivity. In this two-session online workshop you will deepen your understanding of the neuroscience behind escalations and build skills to effectively de-escalate and prevent escalations for more successful relationship management.
