You’ll learn to help others see and appreciate the wisdom in differing perspectives\, transforming potential discord into shared understanding. Additionally\, you’ll develop the ability to anticipate and address conflicts early by understanding the broader context\, ensuring smoother and more effective collaboration. \nYou will leave this workshop with enhanced skills in: \n\n\nUnderstanding Stakeholder Motivations: Recognize the underlying values driving stakeholders’ motivations\, fears\, and behaviors \n\n\nMapping Value Dynamics: Reveal the sources of unproductive conflict and polarization through values mapping \n\n\nDistinguishing Issues: Clearly distinguish between problems to solve and polarities to leverage \n\n\nHelping Groups Get Unstuck: Facilitate groups in moving through conflict and polarization \n\n\nReframing Resistance: Use the polarity lens to reframe fear and resistance in a positive and constructive light \n\n\nFostering Values-Level Collaboration: Promote collaboration at the level of values\, resulting in more resilient and sustainable solutions \n\n\n​ \nPractical applications: \nYou’ll learn how to apply a polarities thinking lens and mapping tools to better navigate human dynamics and also the strategic choices before your collaboration. This practice supports you and your team in embracing a “both/and” approach to change-making. \nJoin us and turn your collaboration’s differences into powerful drivers of innovation and success. \nTrainers \nLuzette Jaimes and Heather Equinoss​ \n​​ \nJoin us to build momentum\, facilitate collaboration\, and achieve groundbreaking solutions together. \n  \nREGISTER HERE
