Time: 10:30am - 12pm
Location: on campus, TBD
Who is this for: This workshop is open to all UBCO Faculty & Staff
This workshop looks at current evidence-based research on what we know works for addressing difficult conversations. Participants learn about the five communication styles and the surprising results of research into how they play out under stress and in conflict. Participants take away practical skills and a tool to guide them through any confusing and stressful discussions.
Please note that as we have enlisted the expertise of an external facilitator Shelly Mclaughlin of The Neutral Zone there will be a nominal fee of $75 per attendee. We strongly encourage all employees to utilize their professional development fund to cover this cost. Detailed instructions on accessing and using your professional development funding can be found here: https://hr.ok.ubc.ca/learning/profdevl/.
