Getting certified in the Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP). The CDP is an assessment instrument measuring conflict behaviors, an excellent resource to increase self-awareness and improve conflict management skills. The CDP is unlike any other assessment in that it focuses specifically on conflict behaviors, rather than styles. It helps individuals and teams understand how they respond to conflict, what triggers can escalate conflict, and how to manage conflict more effectively. Two versions of the instrument—the CDP-Individual (CDP-I) and CDP-360—emphasize an action-oriented approach that leads to real improvement. A thorough Development Guide provides information and tips for coping with conflict and building strong interpersonal relationships.
