SUMMARY:Listening and Communication: Keys to Resolving Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Learn about conflict\, its sources\, and the strategies for managing it in your translation or interpreting work.\nWe have all been there at one point: a client is unhappy with your work\, you are having a disagreement with a colleague\, or\, perhaps\, you must deliver feedback that is far from positive. What is the best way to manage situations that can cause discord and hurt somebody’s feelings\, or worse—ruin the professional relationship? \nConflict is a naturally occurring phenomenon in life and at work. In fact\, when there is no conflict\, relationships can get stagnant. While we try to avoid conflict\, it can serve as opportunities for growth and change if managed correctly. \nThe speaker will dissect the primary conflict resolution skill—listening—and its critical role in the communication process. You will learn how to understand positions and interests as well as learn what factors act as barriers to listening and effective communication. Finally\, you will get a chance to practice active listening skills. \nAfter this webinar\, you will feel better equipped to resolve challenging situations and have difficult conversations in your professional life. \nThis webinar was organized in collaboration with ATA’s Medical Division. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nUnderstand conflict\, its sources\, and strategies for managing it\nAppreciate the importance and complexity of listening in conflict resolution\nHave difficult conversations with colleagues\, supervisors\, and managers\nConsider the differences between positions and interests in conflict resolution\nPractice active listening\n\nAbout the Presenter\nEllen F.
