Course

Overview

Poor self-control, weak social skills, and over-the-top responses are the cause of many unnecessary conflicts and disagreements in schools.

Not only are these behaviors harmful for the parties involved but they also hurt a school’s ability to maintain a positive culture and quality of life. It is in the best interest of everyone that these conflicts be solved quickly, successfully, and permanently.

Participants will learn how to do just that by utilizing the Open-Response Conflict Resolution (ORCR) model to successfully de-escalate students and angry parents as well as anxious and scary situations.

Open-Response Conflict Resolution

Most conflicts are fueled by feelings instead of logic and could be easily resolved in a matter of seconds if someone responded in a manner that opened a path out of the problem.

Open-Response Conflict Resolution is a de-escalation and conflict resolution method that will show you how to do just this--how to de-escalate a person or a situation by utilizing key gestures, phrases, postures, and open responses that can immediately create understanding, recognition, mutual success, and peace.

In no way does this mean that you have to give in, accept poor behavior, let someone treat you badly, or simply hug it out...but you do have to be strategic, logical, open, and completely human in your responses.

Open-Response Conflict Resolution gives you the tools to successfully de-escalate and resolve conflicts as well as help protect yourself personally from emotional and financial hardship.


Why attend

Open-Response Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are becoming more common in our world, communities, families, and unfortunately, also in our schools.

Way too many people, both young and old, are becoming emotionally frayed and therefore are super quick to turn to conflict. The more these conflicts occur the better you must be prepared to protect yourself and others from this destructive trap. Attend this course and learn Open-Response Conflict Resolution so you can help others without putting yourself in a position where your good intentions could cause you to suffer emotionally or financially because of someone else’s behavior.

Those who have the ability to successfully resolve conflicts will be highly praised and placed in higher levels of leadership!
