Organized by: DOM-Faculty Development, SMPH
Event Date: -
Location: Virtual

One crucial skill that can positively impact work culture and relationships is the ability to navigate difficult conversations effectively. Sponsored by the Office for Faculty Affairs and Development, this session will help participants get clarity around what it is that differentiates these conversations. Participants will discuss how to approach, rather than avoid, these conversations in a healthy, well-prepared way. Presenters will offer a framework for planning the conversations and give you an opportunity to practice:

  • Expand individual awareness of your current to emotionally charged, high-risk conversations
  • Learn how to engage in healthy conversations with confidence and skills
  • Learn strategies and tools to prepare for navigating difficult conversations
  • Practice navigating difficult conversations using the POISE model
