We would like to invite you to our annual summer networking event on the evening of 5th July at Somerset House, London. Join us for a glass of wine (or two) and meet old friends and new, whilst we explore the topic of workplace conflict: How can you resolve conflict and manage difficult behaviours effectively in the workplace?

We all encounter conflict with colleagues, clients and suppliers but many of us are unsure how to best handle them. Join us to discuss how to resolve conflict situations in a respectful, professional and productive manner. Our expert panel will also share their top tips and experiences around:

Handling difficult behaviour
Dealing with a conflict within your team(s) when it has an impact on you or others
Resolving conflict with your colleague or superior
Turning conflict into an opportunity to develop your relationship with others (sounds ambitious, right?)

We'll then continue the discussion over drinks and nibbles from 8pm.
