Resolving Conflict & Mastering Difficult Conversations

Please join us on Tuesday, November 14 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. for session three of the professional development series hosted by Career Partners International. The series is open to all faculty and staff.

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.
