Higher education professionals navigate difficult conversations constantly – delivering feedback, setting boundaries, saying no, addressing performance issues – yet most have little training in how to do this effectively, and default approaches often create tension and damaged relationships. This strengths-based workshop helps participants leverage their natural communication style as a foundation for handling these conversations strategically, using the CliftonStrengths framework to show how their strengths show up in conflict, where they may need to adapt, and how to practice conversations that maintain relationships while still addressing the issue.
Staff interested in attending should obtain supervisory approval before registering. Attendance during scheduled work hours is subject to departmental operational needs and any applicable collective bargaining agreement or College policy.
