Is Conflict Draining or Driving Your Team?

Most teams avoid conflict—and pay the price. Missed conversations become bottlenecks. Unspoken tensions grow into full-blown dysfunction. And decisions get delayed, watered down, or made without alignment.

Stratford’s Productive Conflict workshop helps teams reframe conflict as a vital part of collaboration and success. With practical tools and deep insights, your team will learn how to address issues early, navigate tough conversations, and build a culture where conflict fuels progress—not drama.

Why Stratford?

Make Conflict Work for You

Reframe Conflict as a Performance Tool

Move past the myth that conflict is bad. Learn how it can actually build trust, accelerate decisions, and surface innovation.

Reduce Conflict Debt & Emotional Exhaustion

Uncover the unspoken tensions your team has been carrying—and resolve them before they escalate.

Build Everyday Conflict Habits

Equip your team to talk about the hard stuff regularly and constructively—no more explosions, walkouts, or awkward silences.

Proven Framework, Trusted Expert

Built on frameworks by Dr. Liane Davey, Team Psychologist and bestselling author, this program is research-based and field-tested.

“To support a developing organization in what many consider to be a challenging work environment, leaders have to be confident and capable when working with their teams, other trades people, and clients. Stratford’s leadership development approach enabled our leaders to learn, practice and reflect on their impact as leaders and relationships with those they work with. I would recommend them to any team looking to develop, or strengthen, their effectiveness of their leaders.

Stratford Advantage
Conflict with Clarity, Not Chaos

Based on the work of Dr. Liane Davey, PhD

Internationally recognized expert in team dynamics and productive conflict.

Taught by experienced facilitators

Facilitators who know how to create safe space for challenging conversations.

Proven impact

Impact on team alignment, communication, and decision-making—across industries and organization sizes.

Is this just a conflict resolution course?

Not at all. This is about creating a culture of healthy, proactive conflict, not just solving problems after they’ve gone sideways.

What’s ‘conflict debt’?

It’s the cost of all the hard conversations your team hasn’t had—the buildup of tension, misalignment, and frustration that slows progress and erodes trust. This workshop helps you clear it.

What if my team avoids conflict entirely?

Perfect. That’s exactly who this workshop is for. We help you build psychological safety and structured tools to make conflict feel constructive—not scary.

What formats are available?

You can choose a full-day in-person experience or three 2-hour virtual modules—designed to be flexible and impactful.

Who is this best suited for?

Leadership teams, cross-functional teams, boards, or any group that needs to make tough decisions, collaborate closely, or surface diverse perspectives.
