Fall 2008 Workshops for Missouri State University

These workshops are designed especially for Missouri State University faculty and staff. The unique workshop format allows attendees to structure their participation based on their schedules.

The first hour of each session will teaches participants about the topic, and the second (optional) hour offers attendees the opportunity to apply what they've learned. Each individual may choose to attend only the first hour or the full two hours!

Conflict is natural and unavoidable, and the way we manage it can make it a positive or negative force in our lives. This session explores the nature and causes of conflict, as well as how to address and manage conflict.

Although conflict with others is inevitable, resolving conflict is easier when you understand the impact that a person's personality type has on their reactions and perceptions. The session investigates how various personalities respond to conflict and the implications of various personality types on conflict situations.
