"Applying this to Training"
This reminds me of a simple exercise to do with groups -- ask them to free associate words that come to mind when they think about conflict. Chart them and discuss -- and then rate the words as positive or negative -- You can also do this in pairs if you have more tme. Discuss in the large group why we have so many negative associations? How does this effect our behavior? What would it take to create more positive associations?
