I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT! ANTI HARASSMENT & CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES Training; Thu, 10/07/2021 - 01:00pm (Eastern)
Harassment and toxic behavior in a group setting is challenging to anyone’s conflict management skills. In the progressive movement, the challenge is pronounced as the behavior is unexpected, so the management skills are underdeveloped. Progressives are encouraged to “call people in” to deal with differences productively — yet we seldom know how to do that, so we risk leaving conflicts unresolved and seeding a toxic environment. It’s seldom taught, but here’s your chance to learn to manage and resolve conflict. We’ll help you understand your own conflict management approach, the tools available to manage different types of conflict, and how to engage in the difficult conversations required to work through conflict effectively.
