Embracing Conflict: A Systems Approach for Leaders and Teams

February 2nd-3rd: UW-Madison Continuing Studies is offering “Embracing Conflict: A Systems Approach for Leaders and Teams”:

“Instead of ‘managing’ conflict or ‘dealing’ with it, we can learn to embrace it. In this highly interactive class, you will gain confidence and skills to navigate conflict in your relationships, your teams, and with customers/clients. You’ll learn how to recognize and bring to light conflict that is under the surface and within a system, along with your personal patterns related to conflict.
