Presenter: Bruce M. Anderson

Conflict may not be fun but it does not have to be traumatic! This workshop will build a bridge between Karen Horney’s description of three interpersonal trends, which reflects Enneagram dynamics, and Thomas-Kilmann’s Conflict Mode Model. The basis of Horney’s 3 ways of coping mirrors the basic mechanism of defense in the animal kingdom: submission, fight, and flight. The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Model adds two additional dynamics of cooperation and assertiveness needed to constructively manage conflict. Horney’s model provides the doorway to Thomas-Kilmann’s Conflict Model. By merging the two you will walk away with 5 competencies and 10 behaviors that will better equip you to create a peace-filled universe.
