Talk to the Hand

I attended Julie Gaver's workshop 'Talk to the Hand' on March 19. Even though it was billed as 'Tips for dealing with conflict in the workplace', I found that the tips I learned can be used at home and elsewhere when necessary. There is no way to avoid conflict, in fact conflict can be a good thing at times. Julie showed us ways to identify different conflict management techniques. She had us assess ourselves to discover how we deal with conflicts. The bird motif was clever and I am proud to say I am an owl! (That was my high school mascot!). Now I can (hopefully) find ways to manage conflict both at home and at work!
