Workplace Conflict: Tools for Conducting Tough Conversations

Thursday, September 30, 2021, 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST

As human beings, it is inevitable that we will have conflicts with others in the workplace. Skilled leaders understand that conflict is a natural part of organizational life and are adept at detecting and working with the tensions that arise. Well-managed conflict can actually strengthen relationships, resulting in higher quality decisions and stronger teams. 

This session is for Beaumont/OUWB providers and staff only

1. Recognize five common modes of responding to conflict and the types of situations to which each mode is best suited.
2. Explain how human biological programming can interfere with clear thinking when you feel challenged and use strategies to return to center and focus on your ultimate goals (vs. "winning" or "appeasing" in the moment.
3. Identify methods to create and restore psychological safety when emotions run high.
4. Convey your own perspective in a way that increases the likelihood that others will share their perspectives with you - a necessary prelude to effectively resolving conflict.

This session is for Beaumont/OUWB providers and staff only

The meeting will take place virtually via Zoom.
