Harnessing Productive Conflict

Conflict around sustainability work is unavoidable.  And although many people shy away from conflict, disagreements within or across organizations do not need to be inherently negative! A key to being a sustainability leader is reframing our relationship with, and fear around, conflict. In this half or full-day workshop, we will learn and practice the skills to understand, engage with, and ultimately harness the energy created during conflicts. 

We will begin by examining the most common types of conflict and understand how these often arise in the context of sustainability projects and goals.  We will also examine each person’s preferred conflict management style.  We will then take a deep dive into 5 (half-day) or 10 (full-day) strategies and tools for accepting and even harnessing conflict. Utilizing case studies relevant to your organization and team, we will practice each strategy.
