Audience: All Staff, Faculty, and Leaders  

Different people have different ideas, values, beliefs and viewpoints, and occasionally that can lead to disagreement. Conflict is a naturally occurring part of working with others. Skillfully managing yourself during a disagreement can ensure you contribute to a workplace that encourages people to express their differences, challenge ideas respectfully and promotes a dynamic environment that is collaborative, innovative and adaptable to change. 

This half-day program will introduce participants to concepts and strategies for assessing and understanding conflict as well as a foundation for managing it combined with interactive activities and opportunities to collaborate with University colleagues.   

Learning Focus: 

• Gain insight into your own and others' attitudes, values, and preferences  

• Identify the underlying causes of a conflict situation to understand the factors that create and fuel the conflict 

• Develop specific communication techniques and approaches to promote understanding in conflict and build your capacity to talk through differences to reach an agreement 

Facilitator:
