Dealing With Different Work Styles - Moving from Aggravation to Appreciation

Dr Kathleen M. Giles

Two hour workshop

This workshop will explore individual attributes as compared to the type of work we do. The extent to which we can master "speaking each others' languages" may determine the amount of stress and conflict we face in daily work. During this workshop we will learn together how to accept the contributions of differing points of view.  We will learn how to learn about those differences from each other and how to build more peace in the workplace. The workshop will be 30% information out, 30% experiential, 40% reflection and gathering of learnings.
