Whether we like it or not, conflict is inevitable – in our work and in our lives. In this workshop we will reflect on our communication and conflict styles and explore how our styles may differ from the styles of others. We will also discuss a framework for conflict management and work through specific case studies relevant to research groups. Finally, we will touch briefly on wellness strategies to enhance our ability to deal with the inevitable stress that comes with conflict and difficult conversations.

This session will provide a valuable set of tools for participants to move forward in their careers. There will be an interactive component included that allows participants to practice the guidance that will be provided in the presentation by Dr. Sharon Milgram, Director of the Office of Intramural Training and Education, NIH.
