In a conflict, there are two sides, you and the other person, and quite often it can seem like you are never going to get anything done as you and the other person keep disagreeing or arguing.  However, instead of trying to change the other person with argument, you can instead make some changes about what you are saying, how you are saying it and what you are doing, with the aim of getting the other person to change their opinion without realising. To train this, you need to look at some of the following areas:

• The purpose of conflict
• Changing what you do for a different outcome
• Dealing with strong feelings
• Turning arguments into discussions

As well as this, you also need to help people realise when they are involved in a conflict and how to recognise a difficult person and then how to work with them.  There are a lot of areas that can be covered in any training session involving dealing with other people, and conflict management is no different.  It should be a part of all training, from sales training to management training, everyone will benefit from it.
