NCFDD WEBINARS

How to Engage in Healthy Conflict

Thursday, October 12 at 12:00 PM  MDT||  Register

Academics are notoriously conflict avoidant and the inability to manage conflict can result in negative physical, emotional, and relational consequences for tenure-track faculty. So why not learn early in your career to master the SKILL of healthy conflict so that you can effectively manage conflicts as they arise and avoid carrying around all of the negative energy, anger, and resentment in your mind and body.
