Mentedge Consulting is excited to once again partner with Conrad Grebel University College to offer this two-day workshop exploring personality and temperament (using the Personality Dimensions ® tool) highlighting how an individual's natural inclinations can influence their approach to managing conflict.

These workshops are currently beiing offered online over three days.

Workshop Description

One of the greatest challenges when mediating conflicts is helping parties to focus on the underlying needs, values and beliefs that form the foundation of the positions they have taken. Focusing on these underlying core issues can be a key step in identifying common ground for moving forward.

Day 2 and Day 3 of the workshop will focus on the application of the concepts learned during Day 1 to practical conflict management work. After participants engage in an activity designed to review the concepts from the first two days, they will be led through a series of facilitated discussions to identify how an exploration of Personality Dimensions® may add additional insight into:

Participants’ understanding of basic conflict management principles
How meetings, conflict coaching, and mediation sessions could be designed to better accommodate a diverse range of temperaments.

*Personality Dimensions® is based on leading-edge research into human motivation and behaviour and helps to explain what motivates behaviour in people with different personalities or temperaments. It is a Canadian program that provides an easily understood methodology for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and effective communication strategies. Personality Dimensions® emphasizes the self-discovery process and uses cards and group activities to engage the participant and reinforce learning.

This workshop is offered in partnership with Conrad Grebel University College as part of their Certificate in Conflict Management and Medication program. Click on the button below for information on how to register.
