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.
Group dynamics are complex at best! When groups fall into high conflict, they tend to require an intentional multi-pronged intervention. This interactive and engaging workshop considers issues common to both group dynamics and high conflict groups. Multiple strategies for addressing these complex issues will be considered, including:
Assessing high conflict groups
Navigating group dynamics
Building a comprehensive recommendation plan
including considerations regarding organizational change, crisis intervention, and group mediation.
The workshop promises to offer a full and rich range of issues for consideration alongside several key takeaway skills.
This workshop is an advanced workshop for organizational leaders and consultants and/or those who have taken Understanding Conflict Foundations and Advanced.
