Keynote Presentation: Who Are You? Who Are They? How to Unstick Your Brain and Relationships
When we get frustrated with colleagues, the public, or the world, the stress reaction often happens because we can’t process what we see. Taking a moment to make a quick assessment can help. When you know who you are, and can assess the other person’s behavior, you stay in the moment and create productive, constructive interactions. Participants in this workshop will leave with a matrix they can use to assess themselves and others, and simple strategies any professional can use to navigate the difficulties of maintaining strong, long-term relationships.
