Conflict De-Escalation Techniques
This concise video-based series will provide you with a solid foundation of techniques and strategies for de-escalating even the most contentious of conversations. You’ll learn how to improve your active listening, speak with empathy, develop a solution mindset, and avoid falling into the most common traps that consistently increase the likelihood of an exchange going off the rails.
What You'll Learn
- Techniques for recognizing and removing any biases you may have that can influence your perception of a situation.
- Multiple verbal and non-verbal skills that are useful in de-escalating most situations (and a few techniques you should avoid because of their tendency to increase tension and discord.)
- How to develop a solution mindset and focus on solving problems rather than winning an argument.
About This Course
Recognizing and Removing Biases – One of the first steps in conflict de-escalation is approaching that conflict with a clear head and open mind. This video will help you recognize and eliminate any attitudes or preconceived notions that might otherwise hamper your ability to have a calm and rational conversation. You’ll also learn a secret about pandas that might help you avoid catastrophe. Enjoy!
Active Listening – Knowing how to listen to others is perhaps the most important conflict de-escalation technique there is. This video will show you what active listening is, and also what it isn’t, since those examples are rather amusing. And since listening is a non-verbal skill, we also included some other non-verbal techniques in here. In fact, we packed so much stuff in this video you’ll wonder how the whole thing doesn’t explode at the end. (Answer – because we didn’t have the budget for it.) Enjoy!
Developing a Solution Mindset – One way to handle conflict is to yell and scream until others get tired of arguing or flee the scene. Another way is to focus on finding solutions to the issue and finding a smooth and enjoyable way forward. This video will teach you how to do the latter. Although you’ll also see what happens when you ignore a solution mindset in favor of anger and name calling. Brace yourself, though – it isn’t pretty.

Is there a time limit for online courses?
Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
