Normal reactions to issues causing tension & uncertainty can often lead to interpersonal conflict, increased stress and burnout, and delayed or reduced success. Join us for a 60-minute discussion on how we can reframe our approach to tension and uncertainty to foster constructive dialogue, individual growth, and team innovation. Topics include common assumptions in conflict, managing neurological threat responses and growth mindset. This interactive workshop includes self-reflection, breakout discussion, and action planning activities. Questions or need accommodations? Email us at ombudsed@utk.edu. For virtual sessions, we will use breakout rooms for discussion and practice; access to microphone and camera recommended. Attendance via phone not recommended for virtual sessions.
