Getting Along in The Workplace

Many people see conflict as a negative experience. In fact, conflict is a necessary part of our personal growth and development. Think of when you were trying to choose your major in college, for example, or trying to decide between two jobs.

This course will give participants the tools that will help you resolve conflict successfully and produce a win-win outcome.
