Managing Your Anger and Conflict in the Workplace

Anger and conflict are components of almost every workplace environment. Anger is a normal human emotion; it is how people express their anger that leads to problems. Left unmanaged, conflict can be a major source of job stress and can lower productivity. This two-day program teaches you how to handle your own anger and conflict while maintaining productivity and good working relationships. Classes are scheduled one week apart so that you can practice your new skills and then return and receive feedback on your progress.
