or
Registration Deadline: May 11, 2012
We all want to work in an environment where
we can have enjoyable relationships, and feel
valued and motivated. All too often we
experience behavior that erodes our sense of
trust and respect. We may even use
language or behave in ways that others
experience as disrespectful without knowing
it.
Exploring our own workplace experiences, we
will consider discriminatory and discounting
behavior, the need to always be right, talking
with someone rather than about them, how to
confirm understanding and maximize the
benefits of considering conflicting ideas. The
training will conclude with a five-step
process that can be used to resolve
conflict with any individual or team.
Learning Objectives
- Identify behavior that builds respect at work and behavior that erodes respect
- Self-assess our strengths and development opportunities relative to working with respect
- Learn specific strategies to increase respect at work and promote greater engagement and contribution
Benefits
- Recognize both obvious and subtle signs of disrespectful behavior in yourself and others
- Learn “the language of common interests” to build trust and respect when navigating difficult interpersonal interactions
- Learn 5 respectful questions that can be used to foster collaboration within diverse groups
