Conflict Resolution – workshop – invite only

Punit Aggarwal - Founder Bay

An interactive workshop helping individuals and teams better handle differences, disagreements, and conflicts.

With the belief that everything is workable, participants will find ways to appreciate that conflict isn’t the problem, but our response to it can be. The workshop focuses on how individuals and teams can learn to listen, adapt, hold a wider perspective, and develop trust in each other to inspire mutually respectful interactions and, ultimately, positive results.
