Ottawa, ON (February 22, 2010) – CanMediate International is hosting its popular, interactive session "I'm Ok - It's Everyone Else Who Needs Help (tm)" in Kanata, Ontario on Monday, March 8th, 2010 at the Country Inn and Suites.
Conflict is everywhere. From the lengthy transit strike that crippled Ottawa last year, to looming strikes in both the private and public sectors, along with on-going economic uncertainties provide a breeding ground rife with conflict. This type of collateral damage can range from minor to catastrophic devastation. Conflict is a fact of life that will never go away, but how we choose to manage it will determine whether it has a positive potential for growth or if it will become a destructive and negative dynamic in our worlds. Conflict consumes vast quantities of time and energy for Canadians both at work and at home. The more we understand how conflict escalates and what adds "fuel to the fire", the more we can work to manage the conflicts we encounter successfully and even prevent them from happening in the first place.
The highly acclaimed I'm Ok - It's Everyone Else Who Needs Help (tm) course has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants in all life circumstances and professions. Ruth Sirman, President of CanMediate International and course instructor says, "As an organization, we are committed to helping people talk about conflict and how to resolve it more effectively. Wouldn't it be amazing if there was no need for mediators?" With this sentiment, this fun, interactive session is an invaluable resource to add to your personal and professional toolbox. Learn about the traps and pitfalls that are operating behind the scenes in conflicts, whether the context is in the workplace, the community, the home, or spans the globe. As human beings, we can easily trap ourselves in the escalating negative dynamics of conflict when we don't understand what is happening or how to manage it.
