Navigating Conflict Resolution With Authentic Dialogue

About this session

A 3-part Q&A series Featuring Dr. Sundiata Soon-Jahta and Maryella Marie.

Conflict in the workplace is inevitable when communication lines are not rooted in collaborative consent-based decision-making.

No matter where you are in your career, at some point, you will likely face conflict in the workplace head-on. When this moment arises, you will want to possess the communication tools necessary to improve trust & collaboration.

Showing up intentionally during these moments can help to maintain cohesive coworking environments.

In this chat, Dr. Sundiata Soon-Jahta and Maryella Marie of Grow Dialogue and The Positive Force Team will discuss:

  • How to co-create a thriving work culture
  • The power of authentic dialogue vs. debate
  • How to strengthen your conflict resolution muscles
  • Strategically positioning essential skills on resumes, cover letters, and in interviews
Everyone who signs up for this chat will have a chance to win a free 30-minute conflict resolution consultation with Dr. Sundiata Soon-Jahta & Maryella Marie.
