Intrapersonal Conflict Management for Faith Leaders with Ryan Dunlap

November 19, 2024 from 12:00 to 2:00 pm

Faith leaders are often adept in assisting others navigating challenges of intrapersonal conflict, which can impede personal growth and development. Paradoxically, these leaders often find it difficult to apply the same level of proficiency to address their own internal conflicts. Consequently, they bear unresolved tension and discord, which may adversely affect those under their care. This training program is crafted to empower leaders in surmounting intrapersonal conflict issues. It offers participants a comprehensive examination of the impact of their communication, conduct, and character on others, coupled with a structured framework for personal advancement. Throughout the workshop, attendees will delve into the 3-Core Pillars of the Real Tact Model®, elucidating the roles of self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-control in mitigating their contributions to conflicts. The program aims to enhance interpersonal relationships, reduce conflicts, and cultivate more effective leadership skills among participants.

Key workshop takeaways:

• Utilize The Real Tact Model® to minimize gaps in conflict competence can lead to Blind, Emotional, and Unpredictable Leadership styles.
• Identify your key behavioral derailers that can negatively impact the way you lead yourself and others through conflict.
• Discover practical ways to build safe and responsive organizations while leading incredibly connected teams.
• Learn to recognize and reset psychological barriers in yourself that affect decision quality.
