Using simulations and cutting-edge techniques, participants will learn strategies for giving and receiving feedback, understanding other perspectives, and moderating emotions under pressure. Upon completion, participants will be able to use these techniques in their own work improving communication, performance, and relationships in the workplace and classroom.
