About the session:

Disagreements are inevitable and they are often perceived in a negative light. However, through more honest and constructive conversations, a disagreement can be positive and even result in you retaining or winning new business. A culture in which disagreements are seen in a positive way will also encourage creativity and openness. This session will teach you how to recognise the "spark" that leads to a disagreement and then how to manage the interaction towards a positive outcome.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify why and how disagreements arise.
  • Explain the key skills that can be learnt to successfully manage disagreements.
  • Implement a strategy to turn disagreements into a positive out outcome for all involved.
