API Care and Counselling, the community outreach arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API), is happy to organise this workshop to help you learn to skilfully resolve conflicts at work and home through negotiations.
Conflict is inevitable in the context of limited resources, differences in opinions, and differences in goals and values. The way out of conflictual situations is not to turn it into a battleground, but for the conflicting parties to sit down to negotiate for an amicable outcome. Undoubtedly, conflict causes stress to the parties involved. It results in body pains and aches, and in many cases, conflicting parties do not find peace and sleep problems become an issue. As conflict takes a toll on one’s physical and emotional health, it is recommended that one learns to skilfully resolve conflicts at work and home through negotiation. Negotiation is not merely a science, but it is an art that requires practice. In this workshop you will learn some principles of negotiation and its process to resolve future conflict. Everyone aspires to experience peace and happiness at home and work. These aspirations do not always come naturally to many of us. However, these skills of negotiation can be developed with effort and practice. Let this workshop be the first step in that process.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD EXPECT TO LEARN
- Understanding the principles and process of negotiation
- Learning the art of negotiation through skills practice
- Learning to identify the triggers that lead to conflicts and to eradicate their root causes
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- People who often have difficulties managing conflicts with others
- People who want to experience joy and peace in knowing how to resolve conflicts amicably
