Your ability to smoothly mediate and resolve workplace conflict proves vital to your success and plays a large part in how your peers perceive you. Through presentation and demonstration, and by using newly acquired skills during a simple workplace conflict roleplay, you will gain techniques to:

* Confidently identify when mediation is needed
* Clarify underlying interests of involved parties
