SUMMARY:Effective Conflict Resolution Strategies: What Do I Try Now
DESCRIPTION:Dealing with conflicts between employees? Ineffective supervisory relationships? Teams not working well together? Workplace conflict can harm relationships\, reduce productivity\, increase costs and decrease a team’s effectiveness. One study found that an average workplace conflict eats up to three hours a week! In this workshop we’ll explore the range of conflict resolution tools available\, including one-on-one communication strategies\, conflict coaching\, mediation\, and larger group processes. Together we’ll identify circumstances which may make one approach work better than others\, steps we can take to ensure better success with the techniques we choose\, and ways to combine various strategies to deal with challenging workplace dynamics.

SUMMARY:Future Tense – Power of the Pause
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth Installment of BusinessWest’s Future Tense Lecture Series!\nFuture Tense – Power of the Pause\nThursday\, November 8\, 2018\n8 a.m.-9:30 a.m.\nCost: $25 donation to Tech Foundry\nPresenter: Susan O’Connor\, Esq.: Health New England\, Director & General Counsel \nIt’s not easy managing in today’s fast-paced\, complex\, dynamic work environments. Leaders are required to remain focused in the face of a myriad of commitments\, to have clarity of mind\, to ensure they are doing the right things (not just doing ‘things’)\, and maintain calm in the midst of daily storms. But what if we as leaders could hit the “pause” button during our day\, step back\, and meet challenges with a sense of space\, clarity and focus? What if there was a way to not just “get things done\,” but ensure that what does get done connects us with ourselves\, with the people we work with and ultimately\, with our organization’s deepest values? Mindfulness is a compelling tool for performance\, teamwork and effectiveness as well as presence\, kindness and balance. Moira Garvey\, Senior Consultant and Facilitator with the Potential Project\, will share why mindfulness is relevant in the workplace and why companies around the globe are incorporating mindfulness to support workplace performance and employee well-being. \nIn this session you will hear how Springfield-based Health New England brought mindfulness training to its Associates. In 2015\, HNE ran a pilot to enhance their high performance culture – 30 leaders participated in a 4 month course. HNE leadership knows the key to success is the ability to work at a high level of mental effectiveness\, while also remaining resilient in the face of stress. In many industries including health care\, the velocity of change\, competition and complexity are constant challenges. Since the successful 2015 pilot HNE has continued to invest in Mindfulness training as a way to fortify a culture of high performance that is focused and intentional. In 2017\, 63% of the participants held leadership positions \nIn the foundational session Moira will provide an overview of the nature of the mind and attention\, while sharing information on the most recent scientific findings regarding how the brain works and how it can be rewired to enable us to be more focused\, calm and effective at work every single day. She will teach a basic mindfulness practice and offer a focus strategy for immediate application. \nPresenters:\nMoira Garvey\, Senior Consultant and Facilitator\, Potential Project\nSusan O’Connor\, Esq.\, Vice President and General Counsel\, Health New England

SUMMARY:Thanks for the Feedback (dinner forum of Family Business Center of Pioneer Valley
DESCRIPTION: \nTHANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK: THE SCIENCE AND ART OF RECEIVING FEEDBACK WELL \nJoin us at an evening with SHEILA HEEN\, the bestselling co-author of the classic Difficult Conversations\, who will teach how to turn evaluations\, advice\, criticisms\, and coaching into productive listening and learning. \nWe swim in an ocean of feedback. Bosses\, colleagues\, customers—but also family\, friends\, and in-laws—they all have “suggestions” for our performance\, parenting\, or appearance. We know that feedback is essential for healthy relationships and professional development—but we dread it and often dismiss it. That’s because receiving feedback sits at the junction of two conflicting human desires. We do want to learn and grow. And we also want to be accepted just as we are right now. Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. It explains why getting feedback is so crucial yet so challenging\, and offers a powerful framework to help us take on life’s blizzard of off-hand comments\, annual evaluations\, and unsolicited advice with curiosity and grace. The business world spends billions of dollars and millions of hours each year teaching people how to give feedback more effectively. Stone and Heen argue that we’ve got it backwards and show us why the smart money is on educating receivers— in the workplace and in personal relationships as well. Coauthor of the international bestseller Difficult Conversations\, Sheila Heen has spent the last ten years working with businesses\, nonprofits\, governments\, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. With humor and clarity\, she blends the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical\, hard-headed advice. This event will make a huge impact on you and your organization’s ability to turn feedback into gold. \nalso:WHO ARE YOU? WHO\, WHO\, WHO\, WHO? YOUR EMPLOYEES REALLY NEED TO KNOW! \nWhy is it important for people to know their leaders? Even if you’re not all ‘kumbaya’ on the inside\, there is a huge upside to bringing people into your world. A paycheck will only motivate someone so much. When we’re invested in our leader\, and their vision\, we understand our connectedness to the overall mission – we’re a part of something! Solid relationships inspire people to go above and beyond; leading to a dedicated\, action-oriented\, workforce. What leader wouldn’t want to lead that? One of the best ways to help your people get to know you is by providing them with a ‘User Manual’ – a document letting them know everything they need to know about YOU. In this mini-workshop\, Family Business Center strategic partner and board member ROSS GIOMBETTI\, and his GIOMBETTI ASSOCIATES colleagues walk you through their User Manual process which includes reflecting upon your personality and behavior\, drafting insightful commentary as to how you interact with the world\, and refining your guide to ensure it contains impactful information.
