Conflict Coaching Training – March 19-20, 2020, St. Cloud
Date: March 19-20, 2020
Time: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm each day
Location: Welcome Center, 355 5th Ave. South, St Cloud, MN 56301
This two-day workshop is for people who work with others in conflict. Conflict coaching is one-on-one process during which a trained conflict coach works with a person in conflict using conflict resolution skills and strategies to support the coachee’s ability to engage in, manage, or productively resolve the conflict. Conflict coaching can be used as a stand-alone process or as a step before or during mediation. A conflict coach is a confidential listener who helps the coachee see the conflict from all perspectives, consider options, and come up with a plan of action. In conflict coaching, the coachee, not the conflict coach, is responsible for the outcome. Conflict coaching can be useful for conflicts in the workplace, divorce and post-decree situations as well as community disputes.
The following topics will be covered: ·
• Understanding what conflict coaching is and is not;
• Understanding conflict- sources, types, physiology;
• Gaining new skills to help others transform conflict;
• Understanding and conducting the stages of conflict coaching;
• Understanding and appreciating the role of emotion;
• Gaining hands on skills in teaching “I” messages, conflict mapping, role playing, listening, perspective swapping and other skills;
• Practicing conflict coaching through role plays and exercises.
*Scholarships may be available for CRC current volunteers.
