The Magic of Conflict
Professional Development Workshop for Faculty and Staff
Friday, January 27, 2012 · 9 AM - 12:30 PM
On Campus
The ability to respectfully deal with conflict with a sense of personal power and well-being is critical to our success, and to the success of our teams and the university.
This workshop helps participants see conflict as an opportunity and provides skills to resolve it creatively. Attendees experience how changes in self-management have a magical effect on stress level and relationships! The approach draws from principles of the non-violent martial art of Aikido, and is based on the book “The Magic of Conflict” by Thomas F. Crum. This experiential workshop facilitated by Terri Werner utilizes an interesting variety of training techniques to enhance respect for self and for others.
Participants in this workshop learn to: Be calm and act effectively under pressure; deal with change and complexity with power rather than paralysis; minimize stress and increase vitality in the workplace, and acquire skills to resolve conflict effectively and save time, money and frustration.
This workshop is conducted in 4 half-day sessions, over a period of 3 weeks. We also ask that participants be available on the snow dates of February 23rd and March 2nd in the case of inclement weather. Participants will receive 2 books and a course workbook. There are reading and practice assignments between sessions. We request a commitment to attend all 4 sessions:
January 27, February 3, 10, and 17th (hold February 23rd and March 2nd as snow dates). 9:00 am – 12:30 pm (Session 4 begins at 8:30 a.m.)
This program is full. Contact Terri Werner via email: twerner@umbc.edu if you would like to be placed on the 'Interest List' for future programs.
