Conflict Management Center Workshop- Basic Training

Conflict Management Center  Workshop "Basic Training part 1: Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening"  

9:00 am-1 pm: Basic Training Part 1: Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening

What kind of conflict style do you have? How does it impact the way in which you deal with conflict? Understanding the various conflict styles can help bridge understanding in how you and others react to conflict. Also learn a powerful tool that can help deal with emotions associated with interpersonal conflict- reflective listening. Reflective listening helps address these high emotions in order to allow 'room' to address the conflict. Add these two 'tools' to your conflict management toolbox in an interactive, participatory workshop format.

1 pm-3:30 pm: Train the Trainer: First Year Forum

This session, which will be held immediately after Basic Training Part 1, will train interested volunteers who attend the morning session on being a CMC Associate for SU's First Year Forum (FYF). The FYF initiative helps freshmen gain the knowledge and skills for a more successful college career. It involves small groups of freshmen who meet with a faculty member on a regular basis on a variety of topics. One of the options for FYF is an approximately 1-hour workshop on the basics of conflict management- and the requests are already pouring in! We will cover everything you need to know in order to be a trainer using this CMC-developed curriculum. During the workshop, participants will gain experience actually using this curriculum that is utilized in the first year student session. Trainers will be paired with an experienced CMC trainer during these workshops. 

You are encouraged to attend both portions and stay the entire day. However, if you are unable to or you are just interested in the Basic Training portion, please attend Part 1 of the training. It is really important as it provides a foundation for other CMC workshops!

The workshop is FREE and open to all, but registration is required.
Lunch will be served. To register for this training, please send an email to: cmc@maxwell.syr.edu
