Post-Doctoral and Graduate Negotiations, Problem Solving, and Conflict Management

This workshop is designed to build an understanding of mutual interest-based negotiations and problem-solving.   The content will focus on both finding out the other party’s interests and asking for what you need to be successful.  Participants can bring examples of challenging negotiations or meetings, either from the past or upcoming, and leave with techniques to help them be more effective professionals.  Participants will evaluate their personal conflict resolution styles.  Case studies about credit for research and applying for jobs reinforce the use of effective styles in negotiating and problem-solving.  These cases help define patterns of negotiations when choice and stress are factors.  Participants are also taught to practice their own cases and receive feedback from observers.  Several methods of responding to difficult tactics are demonstrated and discussed.
