Presenter: Josh Gibson
In this session, participants learn the neurocognitive reasons why relationships at work matter as well as the conditions and practices that lead to a thriving and effective workplace. After beginning with a high-level understanding of how and why relationships are wired into our brains, a practical review of the principles and skills for building constructive workplace relationships follows. This process also entails a brief participant-led collection of non-constructive “watch out” behaviors. Participants will practice a specific skillset for initiating and maintaining strong workplace relationships. They will create their own specific “relationship action plan” where they will determine how to implement or improve the necessary skills and practices drawn from the course, including:
- Clear communication
- Expressive and receptive influence
- Conflict resolution
- Boundary setting
- Coaching
- Role negotiation
This plan will be self-reviewed and refined to consider the impact of organizational and team dynamics that could impact its success.
