About the Event
While conflict in the workplace can happen, leaders need to create an environment that reduces workplace conflict as well as be able to deescalate conflict when it does occur to preserve relationships, maintain productivity, and preserve organizational performance.
The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence and the Iowa Quality Center and in cooperation with the Greater Rochester NY Quality Council — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, October 30: “Courageous Communication: Conquering Conflict & Difficult Conversations.” The session will be facilitated by Emily Roberts of Lakeland Care Plus.

Specifically, the session’s objectives are:
Acquire a solid understanding of conflict dynamics within the workplace
Assess and recognize your personal approach to conflict, understanding its influence
Expand conflict management techniques and formulate strategic approaches to navigate and resolve challenging conversations.
