Step-by-step outline with many samples of suggested trainer inputs makes workshop preparation a breeze. Includes training exercises, suggestions for opening and closing, a section on culture and conflict, discussion questions, and a roleplay. The guide is keyed to our Style Matters inventory, but most of the content applies to any inventory based on the Mouton Blake Grid, including the Thomas Kilmann.  Includes sections on leading workshops face-to-face or online.    Also, don't miss this addendum to the Trainers Guide, outlining a workshop for users of the online version of Style Matters. 

This is a concise, high-quality trainers' guide based on decades of experience by a renowned expert in conflict resolution training.  We give it away rather than sell it, in the hope that everyone who trains with Style Matters will download and read it.  Participants deserve high quality training!
