Disagreement is hard but necessary.
Things don't change or improve unless we express our differences and arrive at workable solutions. Unfortunately, many people do not have the skills to do this effectively. Either they don't speak up and make their opinions known, or they push their point of view so hard that they offend others and the discussion escalates into a battle of wills or a clash of personalities.Developed by renowned trainer and speaker, Larry Johnson, Constructive Disagreement is a no-nonsense, webinar that will give you the skills to resolve conflict positively so that results are achieved and relationships are left intact.
