The More Collaborative Conflict Workshop

Conflict isn’t the problem; It’s the process.

An insightful workshop that teaches your team how to engage conflict as a necessary, even generative, part of collaboration. Because conflict isn’t the problem—it’s part of the process.

The Challenge

Stop Avoiding Conflict. Start Leveraging It.

Why does conflict feel so threatening?

Many teams see conflict as a sign that something’s wrong. But more often, it’s a sign that people care. When collaboration gets real, conflict is natural. The key isn’t to avoid it—it’s to use it productively.

Why can’t teams manage conflict on their own?

Without tools, teams treat all conflict the same—like a threat. But not all conflict is personal. Some is about ideas, some about identity, and some about values. Naming the difference helps teams respond more skillfully.

What's the risk of not addressing conflict?

Ignoring conflict doesn’t keep the peace—it builds tension under the surface. Over time, it damages trust, limits innovation, and holds teams back. Addressing it well builds safety, clarity, and momentum.

Our Solution

Better Conflict. Better Collaboration.

Our More Collaborative Conflict workshop helps teams shift their mindset about conflict from “problem to avoid” to “tool for clarity and growth.” Using a simple but powerful three-tier model, we help participants name the kind of conflict they’re experiencing—and navigate it more skillfully:

Idea Conflict: Where we strive to be right
Identity Conflict: Where we strive to belong
Ideological Conflict: Where we strive to be good

By helping your team see conflict more clearly, we help them respond more thoughtfully—making room for disagreement without disconnection. This clarity changes everything.

What to expect

Engaging and Responsive Facilitation

We create space for people to reflect on their patterns, recognize their instincts, and practice better responses. Our sessions are responsive to the group’s dynamics—pausing for deeper dives where needed, and always holding space for curiosity and care. In general, though, we'll split our time evenly between the three sections, learning a framework or tool to help participants make sense of the idea, and holding space for discussion about it.

Practical Tools and Takeaways

Participants will walk away with a memorable framework for understanding conflict, a self-assessment tool to reorient themselves as necessary, and a conversation guide to help them navigate future conflicts with clarity and courage. Optional pre-work available to warm up thinking.

Flexible Time Commitment

This workshop is typically offered as a 1.5-3 hour session, depending on your goals, team, and time constraints. Generally, the more time you can devote to the workshop, the more we can assist the team in making sense of the ideas and applying them to their workplace situations.
