Conflict coaching

A highly effective intervention suitable for workplace or personal conflicts. Join us for an introduction to St Ethelburga’s conflict transformation model.

In these challenging times, how can we approach conflict in a way that opens communication and bridges divides? How can we seek the opportunity hidden within conflict – to learn, grow and transform? How can we support and sustain ourselves and others through the challenges that conflict presents? Conflict coaching is a highly effective, practical intervention suitable for people who are currently experiencing conflict or supporting those in conflict in their professional or personal lives. Conflict coaching prevents tensions and differences from escalating and empowers individuals to understand and transform conflict effectively. This interactive full day session will include practical tools, pair work, embodied practice, group discussion, and a tour of our centre. Participants will leave equipped with a model to coach individuals through a conflict that they are facing and support them to realise the next steps they need to take.
