Graduate Student Leadership Series: Spring 2021 Cohort

Conflict in groups and organizations is inevitable, and can be very positive and productive. This workshop will help participants better understand various approaches to conflict, which approaches they utilize more frequently, and how to use each approach appropriately. We may approach conflict differently, but if we better understand ourselves and others, we can navigate conflict in a more constructive manner. This workshop will equip participants with various approaches to positive conflict management.

Need to make a difficult decision individually or as a group? What questions do you consider when trying to decide what to do? Consider the following: Would you visit a family member, or attend a protest, during a global pandemic? Would you speak up if you heard someone that you do not know make a racist comment? Would you tell a friend that you discovered that their partner is cheating on them if you are also friends with the person doing the cheating? How do you decide what's best? During this interactive workshop you will engage in activities designed to uncover the pros and cons of the ethical approaches you are already using. You will also learn about other helpful approaches. Practical resources for making difficult choices will be provided.

What is your purpose? What is most important to you, your group, and society? Attend this interactive workshop to clarify your purpose, develop a vision, and then design SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Based) that can help you reach your vision.

This is the 1st of 2 Strengths workshops that we offer. Attend this highly interactive workshop to learn about your top talents and strengths.

By attending this session, you will better understand the strengths philosophy, identify and share your talents and strengths, see how your strengths may impact your choices and preferences and the choices and preferences of others, learn new ways to use your strengths in your organization, work, and your life in general. Information about how to access the CliftonStrengths assessment will be shared with the workshop requestor. Participants will need to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment BEFORE the workshop. It typically takes about 20 minutes to complete.
