Managing Conflict in the Workplace:
An Aiki Approach
A New, Half-Day Format
With fall comes Judy's popular half-day open enrollment workshop for kinesthetic learners who want an experiential approach when learning new skills. You won't sit in a lecture hall or training room -- far from it.
Picture yourself exploring your relationship to workplace conflict in a dedicated Aikido dojo -- Portsmouth Aikido -- as you begin the new season with a fresh approach to conflict, difficult people, and troublesome workplace scenarios. See yourself re-patterning physical and emotional habits that keep you trapped in unproductive and stress-producing behaviors and relationships. And feel the freedom that comes with getting unstuck.
Walk away with:
- Insight into your conflict habits and how they help or hinder.
- Increased presence and flexibility under pressure.
- An ability to shift from judgment to curiosity in difficult moments.
- Choice in how you manage your emotions and the emotions of others.
- Practical language for difficult conversations.
In this shortened format, you will learn simple Aikido techniques -- centering, energy extension, assertiveness, redirection -- and create applications to change the way you manage conflict and the way you live.
Come prepared to learn, explore, participate, and have fun!
Registration includes: Managing Conflict in the Workplace: An Aiki Approach CD.
