This 3-part asynchronous Zoom series will provide guidance in facilitating open and honest exchange while maintaining collegial, supportive and inclusive interactions. Anyone who needs to lead group discussions in any context is encouraged to join us. *NOTE: The sessions offered this fall will focus on workplace interactions; however, many of the strategies discussed are applicable to contexts both inside and outside the classroom, with colleagues as well as students.

When conversations become confrontations, missteps and misunderstandings can make things even worse. It is natural for individuals to become anxious in these situations but a strong awareness of our own biases and emotional triggers can help us respond more effectively. In this workshop, participants will be invited to engage in self-reflection (both during and after the workshop) in order to prepare to handle these conversations with compassion and equanimity.
