Part of Conrad Grebel University College's Certificate in Conflict Management and Congregational Leadership, these workshops equip church leaders with practical skills for navigating conflict, fostering healthy relationships, strengthening leadership, and helping congregations focus on mission rather than division. Participants may take individual workshops or work toward a certificate designed specifically for ministry contexts.
There is no greater satisfaction than to see another person flourish and to know that one's presence has helped a person come to this place. While conflict can cause people to struggle, a conflict coach partners with those in a conflict, empowering them to be at their best, to engage their conflict well and to come out the other side more whole, more capable and above all, more at peace.
This two day introductory workshop is intended to provide you with the training and skills to help build capacity of individuals to manage conflict situations on their own, without the engagement of a third party. The role of a Conflict Coach helps benefit the person being coached in their long term ability to self manage their conflicts, and ultimately to engage in the solutions that are more likely to succeed.
