Ignitor Leadership Infusion

Find out how your team can use tension with colleagues to strengthen relationships

Most people don’t like conflict. In fact, many will go out of their way just to avoid it. But what if your team could take advantage of the powerful emotions involved in disputes and use them to build better working relationships?

With Harnessing Conflict, your group will work with a professional facilitator to discover how and why you should be embracing clashes with your colleagues.
