The materials from this workshop will cover strategies presented in the live session to help you manage and resolve a variety of conflicts within your department and institution. You will be introduced to practical tools that can be used to address conflict in its earliest stages before it becomes a formal dispute. There is no one-size-fits all approach to resolving conflict. That’s why our expert instructor presents numerous scenarios and discusses the use of framing, facilitation, and other dispute resolution tools to help you:

• Improve and sustain a healthy working environment
• Build rapport among colleagues
• Increase faculty and staff morale

You will leave with a set of “potential career maps” to draw on as you go forward in your career.
