Addressing difficult boardroom behavior in a timely manner can make all the difference in a functioning Board.

This workshop is limited to 15 participants, for HR Specialists and Executive Directors. Continental breakfast provided by Geppetto Catering.

Presenter: Kelly Bowling, Organization Development Consultant, Kaiser Permanente, and Business Volunteer for the Arts

Description:
Today’s workplace environments must enable people to thrive. However, teamwork environments create more conflict as people with different opinions must choose to work together, often in close quarters. If disagreements and differences of opinion escalate into interpersonal conflict, organization leaders must intervene immediately. Not intervening is not an option if you value your organization and your positive culture. In conflict-ridden situations, your mediation skill and interventions are critical. This workshop will focus on how to deliver and implement workplace conflict resolution strategies and tools.
