Burying The Hatchet Training helps put issues and resentment behind you. This course has been tailored for local government, but we can tailor it for other sectors too.
Many managers and employees have simply not had the training to “bury the hatchet”. And sometimes that is all it takes! Learn some new strategies, and you will notice an immediate and positive difference. Imagine the difference if all your people were functioning at a level of emotional intelligence that transcends differences of opinion. If you have conflict why don’t you try this unique approach? As Woody Allen remarked, “80% of success is showing up”. Putting issues behind you and moving forward without resentment.

The sessions were fun and informative, and we can’t wait to invite him back.”- S Watson – Communications Manager – Local Government Association of Tasmania
The key to “burying the hatchet” is being able to understand difficult issues and have a toolbox of conflict resolution techniques. Employees and management often find themselves in situations where they are forced to work and communicate with people but are unable to make a connection with them. Occasionally negative reactions to others can be a result of value systems, projection, transference, personality types, societal differences, cultural norms and even dysfunctional behaviour.
