Register Now! Kerfuffles, Conflicts and Misunderstandings: Strategies for Engagement
The Office for Faculty Development will host Kerfuffles, Conflicts and Misunderstandings: Strategies for Engagement on Tuesday, June 2 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at The Great Hall of the Trent Semans Center. The program will be presented by Ann Brown, MD, MHS, Vice Dean for Faculty, and Cathie Siders, PhD, Executive Coach and Organizational Consultant.
This interactive session starts with the premise that the capacity to engage skillfully in challenging conversations is a vital component of leadership. Kerfuffles, conflicts and misunderstandings are every day occurrences. Unresolved, they cultivate resentment and stymy organizational progress- particularly where change is occurring. This session will use concepts from the classic books Crucial Conversations, Crucial Confrontations and Difficult Conversations to discuss, demonstrate and practice high stakes communication skills. The goal is for participants to gain greater confidence in addressing difficult conversations.
Who should attend? All are welcome, material will be geared toward School of Medicine faculty.
