Dialogue course to strengthen collaboration, trust and leadership
For managers, HR professionals, project managers and others who want to strengthen collaboration in the workplace.
Most challenges in the workplace are not about professional expertise. Misunderstandings, difficult conversations, lack of trust, siloed thinking and disagreements that are allowed to grow can undermine the work environment, productivity and results. When people understand each other better, it becomes easier to collaborate, navigate change and solve challenges together. Dialogue creates space for learning and innovation by bringing together different perspectives and opening up new ways to address complex challenges.
The Nobel Peace Center’s dialogue course is inspired by Nobel Peace Prize laureates who have used dialogue to build trust, foster collaboration and find solutions in challenging situations. The same principles are relevant in the workplace, where strong relationships are often key to achieving good results.
In this two-day course, you will learn how dialogue can help create safer work environments, strengthen collaboration and address conflict and disagreement constructively.
Through practical exercises and experiential learning, you will gain concrete tools to become a better listener, navigate difficult conversations and build trust across differences.
You will learn to:
- Create safer, more trusting work environments
- Handle disagreements constructively
- Strengthen collaboration and relationships within teams
- Lead better conversations and meetings
- Create greater involvement, ownership and understanding during times of change
- Apply the eight dialogue principles developed by the Nobel Peace Center
- Facilitate dialogue courses within your own organisation
You will get:
- Practical tools you can use straight away
- Experiential learning and hands-on practice through exercises and reflection
- Inspiration from Nobel Peace Prize laureates and their work
- Exercises and digital resources you can take back to your organisation (available at a discounted price)
