In high-performing product teams, strong relationships are essential to success. But tension, conflict, and disagreement are inevitable, and if not addressed well, they can erode trust and hinder collaboration.
At Manychat, we've seen how workplace tensions can be tough, but also how they can spark growth, innovation, and stronger team bonds. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore simple, practical ways to navigate conflict through hands-on activities and shared experiences. You’ll walk away with a clear framework and greater awareness of your default response to tension, turning challenging moments into opportunities for connection and growth.
