How to Give Honest Feedback to Your PRD Reviewees?
How can we give honest and useful feedback without being judgmental—to help colleagues develop in research, teaching and service? The half-day Workshop on Giving Honest Feedback was tailored for professoriate colleagues who are PRD reviewers (May 27, 2017).
Conflict Management WorkshopDiversity in opinions can help us see things in new perspectives and think out of the box, but it can also lead to tension. If not managed skillfully, that could escalate unproductively. After the well-received basic workshop for academic leaders (June 1, 2016), we offered a more in-depth workshop on conflict management for interested Heads of departments/divisions (February 16, 2017).
