During the first part of this five-month long program, instructor Tracey Nelson, SPHR, CPLP will explore Effectively Navigating Difficult Conversations & Conflict. During this session, Nelson will discuss how the workplace is a melting pot of professionals with varying personality styles and communication preferences, generational and cultural differences and a wide variety of interests, motivations, backgrounds and skills. Inevitably, situations arise where goals and perspectives may clash, and challenging conversations need to be had. The ability to have these conversations and navigate conflict with candor and credibility is an essential skill for success in the workplace. Understanding your own conflict style and developing your ability to effectively communicate in these challenging situations will lead to more effective relationships, a more constructive culture and a better performing team and organization.
