Session 4: Navigating Procrastination and Managing your Time Effectively
Description:
We all experience lack of motivation and focus from time to time. Many of us believe that we have to improve our mindset or that we’re just lazy, but these emotional states have deeper meanings behind them. We’ll discuss the WHY behind these tactics and how we can begin to navigate and shift into productivity, excitement, and flow more easily. Participants will also complete a time assessment, understanding where they spend their time on a daily basis, to identify where they can create change.

Session 3: Resolving Conflict and Mastering Difficult Conversations
Program Description:
While conflict in the workplace is inevitable, healthy conflict is good for organizations and unhealthy conflict can be very damaging. Some people are conflict avoiders, and some are conflict seekers. This training will help you identify the common causes of conflict, different types of conflict, and five strategies for effectively resolving conflict. In addition, this training will uncover the fundamentals of a difficult conversation including when it is time to have one and how to overcome some of the common challenges that arise. You will learn a framework to prepare for any difficult conversation, as well as research based best practices on when, where, and how to have that difficult conversation. After this training you will have the tools to better navigate conflict and tackle difficult conversations.
