Managing Workplace Conflict and Collaboration Workshop #2

Session information

Work is becoming increasingly collaborative. Organisations collaborate and exchange with ever-distant partners, and teams often have members across many different time zones. This increases diversity of perspectives, which can contribute to innovation and creativity, but it can also generate conflicting views and mismatched priorities. Collaborative goals may not only be undermined by conflict but also by rapid change. In this interactive workshop, participants will gain insights into types and triggers of conflict; the anatomy of conflict, and how to achieve a culture of collaboration on the back of effective conflict management in organisational settings.

This workshop is in-person only. Confirmed participants will receive a template to capture their reflections on conflict or disagreement they have personally experienced, how they managed that and what the outcome was.  

As a bonus, we'll be offering a lucky door prize during the workshop: a ticket to see Jay Shetty live in Brisbane on 16 November 2026.
