SUMMARY:BONUS Hot Topic Session - Difficult or Just Different? Dealing with difficult people and situations in the workplace
DESCRIPTION:Difficult or Just Different? Dealing with difficult people and situations in the workplace\, Dee Oviatt\, Facilitator\, ATW Training & Consulting\n\nDealing with difficult people and situations in the workplace can be very challenging. Many either avoid difficult conversations altogether or do not handle such conversations effectively. But what if our perspective of others contributes to what makes conversations so challenging? Are others difficult\, or just different?\n\nIt is more effective to think of problems as difficult and people as different. Recognizing differences in styles and expectations is an important interpersonal and leadership skill. We deal with people differences when we align to work together on issues rather than label others as "difficult" and work at cross purposes. When we prepare for challenging conversations and follow a three-step conversation model   initiate a conversation\, explore issues\, and focus on the future   we are more effective in dealing with difficulties in working together.\n\n\nThis session is a repeat session that was originally offered at the Central Iowa Business Conference. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 29\, 2017\n\n3:00 pm - 4:30 pm\n\nUrbandale Chamber of Commerce RODAN Board Room (2830 100th Street\, Ste 110\, Urbandale)\n\nFREE for attendees of the Central Iowa Business Conference (apply discount code when registering)\n\n$29/person for non-conference attendees\n\nSeating is limited!
