Conflict on the Rise (That is, the desire to learn how to navigate it!)

Since rolling out, "Where Conflict & Safety Intersect", at SafeBuild's 2014's final quarterly meeting, the topic has been in demand! 

Participants Gain Insights on How Healthy Conflict Can Positively Impact Safety Culture. 

Business owners, safety professionals, superintendents and project managers came together to explore how healthy attitudes and effective communication skills can make their safety culture more robust.

Communication has transitioned from being considered a "soft skill" to a skill that is seen as imperative to creating a proactive safety mindset - as well as creating efficiencies, high performance and the building of strong relationships. Participants explored the healthy and unhealthy attitudes and beliefs we hold about conflict and examined more effective, skill-based communication approaches to resolving issues and enriching relationships.

I believe people are hungry for the skills to navigate difficult conversations and enrich relationships, and the growing interest in this topic also tells me that people are ready to have the conversation! It's an honor to work with professionals ready to raise their game! 

Thanks Karen Blythe of SafeBuild, Roger Lenneberg of Jordan Ramis, Scott Jacoby of Schnitzer Steel and all the participants who have actively been engaged in growing their awareness and skills about healthy, constructive conflict.
