Webinar: Communities will have conflict. How can we lessen the pain?

Navigating disruption, crisis, and conflict are normal challenges in community organisations. Things go awry, from time to time, with people, relationships, and whole group dynamics. It doesn't make it any easier or less painful, however, to know you are not the first person or organisation to come across a difficult individual or experience a schism.

Megan and Kath have both researched these hard to manage—and hard on people—conflict situations, which may include rifts between factions in an organisation; exclusion, bullying and incivility; "sticky situations" with volunteers; power plays; or perceived threats to an organisation’s identity or future existence.

This webinar will be a chance to be introduced to their research, ask questions, and perhaps reframe a seemingly stuck situation—from the present or the past—or to strengthen your organisation's capacity to manage the inevitable incidence of conflict in the future.
