Peer Roundtable: Having Sensitive & Delicate Workplace Conversations

WHY THIS TOPIC:

Harassment. Language. Gender. Condescension. Race. Body Odor. Attention Spans. These and many more situations often stimulate the desire to initiate sensitive and delicate conversations, and the pandemic hasn’t made things easier (besides the body odor issues). If many of us believe that work-life harmony is important, then having conversations that address that harmony are critical to our job satisfaction.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to handle difficult situations in an emotionally intelligent manner
• How to determine when to have these types of conversations
• Shared experiences from peers on some of the most sensitive conversations they’ve had to have

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:

• You struggle with initiating or responding to workplace conflict
• Struggling to communicate remotely the same way you do in person
• Have a burning desire or need to start one of these conversations with a coworker
