Do you want to feel confident when handling conflict?

Disagreements are a natural part of team dynamics — but when handled early and with care, they can strengthen understanding and connection. This interactive workshop introduces Girlguiding Commissioners to the principles and practice of approaching conflict constructively by supporting open conversations and helping volunteers move forward collaboratively.

Join our online session on Tuesday 10 November from 6:30pm - 9:00pm, which will include group discussions, interactive exercises, and real-world examples.
