Have the Difficult Conversations with Effective Communication
In a dynamic higher education environment, conflict is inevitable and often complex. Yet, whether in higher education or beyond, we are often not formally taught how to navigate conflict. Many skilled individuals wonder if they know how to handle, approach, and work through their conflicts effectively which causes them to waver in confidence when tensions or difficult conversations emerge.
Join our expert presenter on May 8, 2025 when she will explore tangible conflict resolution skills that can be applied on your campus to foster environments where individuals can engage positively and constructively.
Become more familiar with tools and strategies that are effective in conflict so you and your staff can feel more confident when conflict arises.
