Approaching Conflict with Courage

Each day in the social sector feels unpredictable as we experience rapid change, divisiveness, and a hypernormalization of fear. To continue our work towards our missions, we must build our individual and collective capacity to navigate conflict in our daily working relationships and organizations. We need to approach conflict with courage and have some difficult conversations. When we are under pressure, how can we work towards a shared purpose? How can we communicate clearly through tension and disagreement, set clear boundaries for ourselves and others, and keep our values at the core?

• A deeper understanding of your conflict and communication styles, and how your styles are informed by your values, identities, and experiences.
• Communication tools and strategies to build trust and navigate challenging conversations in your daily working relationships.
• New organizational practices and structures that center shared values, clarify decision making, and create feedback loops to strengthen team capacity for conflict.

Whether you are a seasoned leader or new to leadership, this is an opportunity to deepen your capacity to hold generative conflict. Join this half day workshop to level up your skills in conflict personally and professionally alongside other mission-driven leaders alongside mission-driven leaders across SE Michigan.
