Participants will take part in a virtual 90 min interactive session on the topic of negotiating with confidence. The research tells us that men and women are equally effective as negotiators. The problem is that women negotiate far less frequently than men do. This session will put in some deliberate practice to help change that outcome. We’ll discuss first principles in any negotiation, talk about strategies and tactics to use, and give you an opportunity to put this knowledge into action by doing a negotiation and reflecting on it afterwards. You will also be asked to think about specific applications of this learning to your own role and areas of responsibility.

This interactive workshop will set the foundation for your ability to engage with greater confidence in giving and receiving feedback more effectively.
At work and in your personal life, how you have interpreted and reacted to feedback has influenced your identity. It has influenced to some extent how you see yourself, choices you have made, how you engage in the world, and how you interact with others. Now, think about how the feedback you have shared has been interpreted and influenced others!

How have you experienced toxic workplace culture? Conflict in meetings? Micromanagement? Gossip? Join this interactive workshop to explore organizational issues that compromise workplace environments and learn how to create a healthy one through your leadership. Leave equipped with tools to identify practices, policies, and mindsets that contribute to toxic workplaces, and strategies to intercept and address it.
Conflict in the workplace, and everyday life, is a natural outcome of having individuals with different wants collaborate together toward joint outcomes. When we avoid conflict, it is often with the mistaken assumption that conflict will lead to deterioration and rupture in relationships. Often, the opposite is true. Avoiding conflict leads to resentment and not addressing crucial differences, which over time necessitates a breakdown in relationships. Healthy conflict, though it leaves us momentarily feeling vulnerable, can aid in getting to know each other better, and can bring us closer together and better able to achieve joint outcomes. In this session, participants will learn key skills of healthy conflict – setting healthy boundaries, the ability to listen to others’ core wants, being able to process one’s own and de-escalate others, finding a path toward a resolution, and relationship ‘repair’.
Objectives:
- Participants will learn what constitutes healthy and unhealthy conflict,
- Participants will understand the importance of conflict in maintaining healthy relationships,
- Participants will learn how to establish healthy boundaries prior to the conflict,
- Participants will learn how to listen fully, without inner mental ‘noise,’
- Participants will learn how to process emotions, and de-escalate the emotions of others,
- Participants will learn how relationship ‘repair’ happens following a conflict.
Pre-work:
Participants are asked to reflect on a recent interpersonal conflict they have had over the last year and describe it in a paragraph, which they will keep to themselves. The paragraph should include what the conflict was about, how the participant felt during it, and what the outcome was. Participants should bring this paragraph to the session, so they can refer to it (privately) as they learn various principles of conflict resolution.
