Conflict is something that many of us desperately want to avoid. But when we approach conflict with curiosity, compassion, and creativity, we can transform conflict into effective collaboration. Using improvisational tools and techniques, this workshop will help individuals, teams, and businesses redirect from destructive divergence and move towards creative convergence. In this workshop, we will tackle ways to assess and resolve conflict by increasing trust and communication.
