CONFLICT COACHING

A highly effective intervention suitable for workplace or personal conflicts

Conflict coaching is a highly effective intervention suitable for workplace or personal conflicts. Our training is aimed at anyone dealing with conflict in organisations or communities, HR and employee well-being professionals, mediators, generalist professional coaches, counsellors and spiritual advisors.

Are you currently experiencing conflict in your work or personal life?

Are you supporting others who are experiencing conflict?

Join us for an introduction to St Ethelburga’s conflict transformation model.

In these challenging times, how can we approach conflict in a way that opens communication and bridges divides? How can we seek the opportunity hidden within conflict – to learn, grow and transform? How can we support and sustain ourselves and others through the challenges that conflict presents?
Conflict coaching is a highly effective, practical intervention suitable for people who are currently experiencing conflict or supporting those in conflict in their professional or personal lives. Conflict coaching prevents tensions and differences from escalating and empowers individuals to understand and transform conflict effectively. This interactive full day session will include practical tools, pair work, embodied practice, group discussion, and a tour of our centre. Participants will leave equipped with a model to coach individuals through a conflict that they are facing and support them to realise the next steps they need to take.

This interactive full day session will include practical tools, pair work,
embodied practice, group discussion, and a tour of our centre.

Our dialogue and group facilitation training focuses on how to effectively build relationships across division and difference, emphasising deep dialogue, listening and narrative. It is experiential and participatory with a focus on creativity and group empowerment.

In the current climate of social tension and polarisation, how do we bring diverse groups together in conversation and collaboration?

How can we sensitively gather small and large groups and foster deep listening and understanding?

The experience is suitable for individuals or organisations who want to improve the way they work with groups, as well as those new to facilitation.Filled with a rich selection of methods, approaches and exercises, the day will offer an insider look into some of the facilitation tools used for St Ethelburga’s transformational programmes. It will be highly experiential, with an opportunity to engage with practical techniques that help to foster participative and productive group conversations.

Youth & Young Adult Peace Workshop

Bespoke workshops at our centre or your location for young people ages 12-25

This training is for:
Schools | youth groups | university | international exchange programmes.

In a world of growing conflict and crisis, we believe it is essential to offer young people spaces where they can talk openly about how to navigate this landscape and to support them with the skills of peacemaking and reconciliation in their own lives.

Do you work with young people in a school, charity, university or international exchange program?

We have hosted students at secondary and university level studying religious education, history, civics, geography, international relations, citizenship, philosophy, sociology, and many more. We have also hosted young people not in education, employment or training and those in alternative education provision. We can also tailor our offering to suit the needs of your group. We suggest a maximum of 20 participants but can also facilitate larger groups if needed.
