 person. It occurs daily in organizations between&nbsp;colleagues, teams, staff, vendors, and customers. It occurs daily in all&nbsp;aspects of our lives. Conflict is inevitable and healthy in order for progress&nbsp;to occur. It is also a critical factor when managing change
 during many life&nbsp;stages of an organization. Yet it is one of the most difficult challenges we&nbsp;all continue to face. How do we manage conflict in an objective and skilled&nbsp;manner? Understanding our own conflict management styles as well as&nbsp;others can empower
 us to effectively manage conflict. There are five&nbsp;conflict management modes – Avoiding, Accommodating, Compromising,&nbsp;Collaborating and Competing. Recognizing our own style as well as others’&nbsp;styles heightens our awareness allowing us to communicate more&nbsp;effectively.
 We have a choice in dealing with conflict. All five conflict-handling modes are available to us and this knowledge can give us a&nbsp;greater sense of control to steer conflicts in different directions by&nbsp;choosing different modes. This interactive session will
