Conflict, Aikido & the HR Professional
How often do you face conflict? When it occurs, do you typically go “fight” or do you go “flight”? Learn an alternative to fight or flight: verbal Aikido. Instead of being intimidated (flight) or escalating hostilities (fight), Aikido shows you how to remain centered and balanced, and able to redirect your attacker’s energy to a safe place. Verbal Aikido will enable you to defuse anger and find common ground. It will help you find solutions so that your relationships prosper rather than fall apart.
