Conflict Influencer™ Certification

Course Description

Have your best skills failed with some people? Have you felt that, despite your best efforts, handling interactions with them can seem impossible? It’s likely that you may have been interacting with individuals who may have a high conflict personality (HCP).

High conflict interactions and situations are different because people with high conflict personalities are different. They often have a lot of all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions, extreme behavior, and preoccupation with blaming others. Ordinary conflict resolution or dispute resolution techniques and methods don’t work with them.

It’s possible to turn these situations to your advantage once you:

  • accept that 15-20% of people will not respond to the same techniques that are effective with the other 80-85%

  • accept that you often must go against your instincts when interacting with individuals with HCP

  • learn the rules of the high conflict operating system, and the necessary skills designed to work with those rules

  • learn how to set limits

This certification course is an intensive, in-depth training that goes beyond ordinary communication and conflict resolution skills. Relying on research of the brain and human interactions, learn how to adapt and begin using important skills, including:

  • the five high conflict personality types, their fear-based behavior patterns, and ways to address each type

  • recognizing a high conflict situation

  • identifying individuals with potential HCP

  • adjusting your expectations

  • understanding your conflict style and how it interacts with individuals with HCP

  • setting limits to avoid a high conflict dilemma

  • adapting verbal and written communication skills for handling high conflict interactions

  • shifting individuals with HCP from blaming to problem-solving
