Workshop will run from May 2- May 30, 2025, (initial pre-work sent May 2) with Zoom sessions on May 9, 16, 23, & 30 from 10:30am-12:00pm

A Crucial Conversation is a discussion between two or more people where the stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong. When conversations turn crucial, people tend to follow one of two ineffective paths: they either speak directly and abrasively to get the results they want but harm relationships, or they remain silent with the hope of preserving relationships only to sacrifice results. This intensive training builds skills for constructively engaging in conflict —rather than stepping over or around it— turning disagreement into dialogue.

Workshop details:

  • Held online over 4 weeks, participants will complete 1-2 hours of asynchronous online activities from Crucial Learning (~6 hours) prior to engaging in each of four 1.5-hour virtual discussion and skills practice sessions (6 hours via Zoom) for 12 total PD hours. More about CCMD training content.
  • Materials Cost: $318 online materials access fee per person. Consult with your unit/department/college for funding – this is typically paid via internal transfer through Campus Shared Services. Funding support available.

For next session, ALL virtual workshop activities take place in May. Plan to complete 1 hour of independent pre-work before the first scheduled Zoom session.
