Jathan Janove presenting:

                                       RESOLVE CONFLICT CONSTRUCTIVELY

Summary
Executives, managers, employees and HR professionals encounter conflict in many ways, including (a) direct verbal attacks; (b) intervention in conflicts between others; and (c) resistance to their direction. This session will teach you practical, proven tools for effectively handling conflict that comes your way. These tools will enable you to heal rifts, find common ground, and turn problems into opportunities.  

Objectives:

  • Learn self-control that keeps you from going into “fight or flight” mode
  • Learn how to channel hostile energy to a place of mutual understanding
  • Constructively confront the “elephant in the room”
  • Craft apologies that get accepted versus make things worse

 

Also Jennifer Bouman-Steagall speaking on:

                                     EMBRACING THE JOURNEY OF CHANGE

Summary
Road trips are fun; organizational change, not so much. Are you driving change or navigating others through it? Are you helping map the direction of change, or are you just along for the ride? Change happens whether we like it or not. When managed well, change can bring exciting new experiences, opportunities and innovative ideas. The best-laid plans can also include a few roadblocks, potholes, and the occasional unexpected accident, all of which can make the process of change difficult. We control how we respond to change, and if we can help others embrace it, the road ahead will be much more interesting and productive. If you are ready for an adventure, join us for this interactive and entertaining journey as we learn tips and strategies for directing, shaping and embracing the path of change.

Objectives:

  • Understand change's inevitability 
  • Control how we respond to change
  • Help others embrace it
  • Create an overall more positive environment for yourself and others
