During the interactive session, participants will:

  • Discuss how positive communication enhances teamwork and results
  • Describe common team challenges and how they can erode teams’ ability to get meaningful work done
  • Define “hot button” interactions that derail meetings and communications and discuss how to anticipate them
  • Share a variety of practical techniques to implement that increase team inclusion and effectiveness.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Questions, contact ctsomarketing@umich.edu
