WIA Workshop:
Difficult Conversations, Negotiations, and Disagreements
Wednesday, June 23, 4:30-6:30pm
|
|
This is the third and final workshop of WIA’s 2021 Communication Workshop Series.
On a good day, people struggle with conversations and communication that bear weight, heightened emotions, and conflict. Add in a high-value want, something like a raise or a better work situation, and negotiations can make conversations even more difficult – try a disagreement? Cue stress, people-pleasing, passive-aggression, and more bad behavior that helps no one.
Join us for an interactive workshop to flex small talk and conversation skills with Jen Brown, founder of The Engaging Educator.

Hollaback Harassment Training
June & July, multiple dates available
Hollaback! is a global, people-powered movement to end harassment – in all its forms. We believe that we all deserve to be who we are, wherever we are.
We believe we all have a role to play in disrupting harassment and building a culture where it is no longer seen as “just the price you have to pay” for being a woman, LGBTQ+, a person of color, or any other marginalized identity. We teach people to take action, and to reach across their own identities to ally with others and establish a united front against harassment each time we witness it.
