Disrespect Happens

This webinar will enable participants to understand how to effectively reduce and manage workplace disrespect. More specifically, it will enable participants to enhance their communication skills and awareness for:

  • Proactively engaging to confront disrespect
  • Addressing bad behavior
  • Having difficult conversations
  • Tackling tough behavioral challenges
  • Improving listening skills
  • Enriching relationships and workplace culture
  • Changing the context of disrespect from negative to positive

No matter how we reinforce expectations for workplace respect, every workplace encounters those who become workplace nightmares.

  1. If ignored or handled badly, bad behavior can devastate a project, team or organization like a wildfire.
  2. If handled early and effectively, relationships and workplace culture will be enriched.

This makes disrespect management critical – it takes skill to effectively avoid arguments, clarify misunderstandings, deal with disputes, and repair relationships. Simply put – disrespect requires intervention and direct conversations.

Disrespect can be effectively managed and even avoided if steps are taken early to reinforce behavioral expectations and devise an action plan for going forward.

Furthermore, by applying a series of thoughtful steps and tools, most be behavior can be resolved effectively.  Critical to success is learning how to engage early, using skills to identify and confront the disrespect and avoid escalation.

In the focus of this webinar Paul Pelletier (LinkedIn profile) provides leaders with tools for approaching and resolving disrespect issues, before they become full-blown conflicts.

Learn

  1. How to assess the situation early, maturely and how to change the context of the conversation.
  2. To use direct conversations to take the initiative to confront the problem.
  3. To turn a disagreement into an opportunity to provoke learning and enrich relationships.

Critical to disrespect management, participants will develop strategies for changing the context of conflicts from negative to positive, from disrespectful to appropriate.

Which Is More Powerful: Facts Or Feelings?

If you want to win over everyone in your audience, your best bet is to address both.

Explore how movie scenes can quickly help participants connect the emotions experienced in watching a movie clip with the content we are teaching.

Objectives:

  • Recognize how emotions affect learning
  • Discover tips for determining the right emotion and selecting the best scene that taps into that emotion
  • Explore tactics for making the most out of the movie scene and managing the scene for optimal learning and discussion
  • Learn how to easily and legally select and use movies that teach and train

When it comes to employee feedback, from employee engagement surveys, onboarding or exit surveys, or from external feedback, the scores are only the beginning.

With open-ended responses, employees are telling what it feels like to work in the company – they are telling the organization’s story.

These comments–which can number in the hundreds of thousands or more over time–are a treasure trove of information.

When unlocked, they can contain the key to identifying systemic or isolated issues that may eventually lead to unwanted attrition, stunted organizational performance, and even blows to the organization’s reputation.

In this session, Sara P. Weiner, PhD (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant, Organizational Development Science; Glint an expert in industrial-organizational psychology, will discuss advice and best practices for pulling the critical stories and insights out of comments, and how to harness these stories to take the actions that make a difference in the employee experience and business performance.

Shane Combest, (LinkedIn profile) a product management leader with a decade of experience in B2B technology, will highlight the innovations that help organizations leverage open-ended feedback to truly understand their company’s story… and rewrite the ending.

Learn:

  • Examples of the stories comments can tell beyond engagement or performance scores
  • How to avoid common pitfalls in interpreting comments (and training your leaders to do the same)
  • How to interpret comments to contribute to action planning that makes a difference
