Conflict Confident Workshops

Transform Conflict, Build Trust and Do Your Best Work

Are you exhausted by conflict at work? When faced with challenges, do you find others more critical than curious? Accusatory rather than trusting? Is there more defensiveness than collaboration?

Where there are people, there will be conflict—that's normal. But it doesn’t have to waste time and money, drain energy, decrease productivity, destroy trust, damage relationships, and deflate morale. 

Conflict can be transformed to create environments where camaraderie and innovation grow. Spaces where you and your team can interact productively, freeing everyone to do their best work.

How can you create these environments? You can become Conflict Confident.  You can cultivate the poise and optimism that comes from having skills and strategies to:

  • Move an angry room forward toward productivity

  • Employ powerful empathic skills that build trust and connection

  • Manage difficult conversations that strengthen relationships

  • Create positive outcomes that inspire others to collaborate, even when they disagree

In my Conflict Confident workshops, I'll guide you through a program of skilled thinking, communicating, and problem solving—informed by mindfulness and neuroscience—so you can:  

  • Save time, money, and aggravation

  • Boost productivity and morale

  • Rescue and strengthen relationships

  • Reduce unhealthy stress

  • Cultivate trusting environments

I lead all my workshops with passion, energy, humility, and humor to make the content memorable and the learning fun. If you're not engaged, I’m not doing my job.

I haven’t seen that room so engaged ... EVER. Peter definitely has a talent for this. People like and trust him. Every penny was worth it!”

I hadn’t realized how much time and morale we were losing from everyday conflict. After this workshop, we still have conflict, but I deal with it in much more productive and positive ways. Thank you, Peter!”
