Free to members, $20 for non-members. Join us for an engaging and insightful skill-building workshop hosted by the Tennessee Association of Professional Mediators (TAPM). Based on a recent participant poll from our workshop on Breaking Impasse, it was revealed that emotional barriers are overwhelmingly the most prevalent obstacles faced by mediators. As a result, we have dedicated our next workshop to exploring and overcoming these emotional challenges.

Free to members, $20 for non-members. Join us for a fascinating and thoughtful discussion of dignity and conflict resolution led by Lisa Yamagata-Lynch and the Ombuds Office at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. We all have an inherent value (dignity) that drives our need to matter and belong. Attending to feelings and experiences of dignity is crucial to building relationships of trust and mutual understanding. Violations of dignity are often the root cause of anger, resentment, mistrust, and destructive conflict. In this session, you will explore the importance of dignity in workplace relationships; discuss how to honor dignity & avoid violations; and strategize ways to uphold the dignity of yourself and others. This 90-minute interactive workshop includes self-reflection, breakout discussion, and action planning activities.
