This workshop focuses on the use of powerful conversations that become transformational as they create mutual learning and lead to committed action. Studies have shown that by holding these crucial conversations well, communications become more open, honest, respectful and problems can be resolved. Participants will learn how to use conversation to strengthen connections and facilitate change. The best individuals, teams and organizations demonstrate an ability to engage in meaningful dialogue as they effectively manage those conversations where the stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong- those crucial conversations. By learning a step-by-step process for dealing with misperceptions, violated expectations and difficult behavior, individuals can become more influential and impactful in their personal and professional lives.

This session will overview some of the central ideas from research on interpersonal influence and how they might relate to working in academia.Issues to be covered will include: having the right attitude for influencing, preparing for negotiations and how to get unstuck when negotiations stall. Participants will practice sample negotiations, discuss ideas for improving negotiation outcomes, explore negotiation "style" and review additional resources for their development. As a result, participants should be better able to more actively engage in push back when people or circumstances impose on their preferences and seek to negotiate their preferred outcome while maintaining relationships and seeking to collaborate effectively with others.

Communication matters. It’s at the heart of how professional people function effectively. Even people who communicate well typically would volunteer that they also believe they could communicate better. Better and more influential communication can provide an advantage to everyone, especially in understanding individuals whose preferred behavior is different than your own. This course strengthens participants’ self-awareness as individuals and leaders by providing feedback on key components of personality as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and offers a review of how participants can use the cues which they see in the behavior of others to provide insights into what their Myers-Briggs personality type might be, thus providing opportunities to flex their own behavior to more effectively work with others. This approach offers a greater opportunity to build a rapport with others, and to influence their decision making and behavior by understanding their preferences for the type of data they normally value most, and the ways in which they most often use it to make choices. Psychological Assessment: Participants are offered the opportunity to complete the MBTI Step II in advance. Small group activities will be structured around MBTI preferences, and in order to participate fully in the sessions, we do ask that you be willing to share your four-letter MBTI code (although personal scores do not need to be shared). If you do not wish to complete the assessment in advance, or to have your Myers-Briggs type known to the group, please let the course coordinator know in advance. In this case, you’re welcome to attend as an observer, but may not receive the most advantage from your participation since you won’t have your personal data to consider during discussion.

Dealing effectively with conflict is difficult for everyone. Some try to avoid conflict and wish it would go away, while others tend to get angry and lash out at others in ways they regret later. Poorly managed conflict creates enormous costs in the form of wasted time, turnover, and lawsuits. Assess how you currently handle conflict and develop the skills you need to deal with conflict more effectively. The Conflict Dynamics Profile is administered to provide you with greater self-knowledge of personal style. Using small-group activities, participants develop and practice effective conflict resolution strategies.
Focus on Underlying Motives-The Key to More Productive Conflict - SOM Faculty Only

Understanding the behavior that governs your interaction with others is the first step in reducing interpersonal conflict. This workshop will help you understand your personal strengths in relating to others under two conditions: when things are going well, and when you are faced with disagreement that may produce conflict. At the end of this workshop, you will be able to better deploy your personal strengths, that is, move strategically to take a position for effective action. You will also understand how the predictable manner in which you behave during conflict impacts the way others respond to you and, ultimately, your relationships with them. The Strength Deployment Inventory is used to create an individual and group profile of underlying motivations both in good times and bad. If you understand what makes other people feel good about themselves (their underlying motives and value system) you will be better able to influence them and be a part of their best days.

The Trends in Medical Education: The Educator's Portfolio
Office of Faculty Development, Patricia Thomas, M.D., Instructor
Educator’s Portfolio is a collection of class materials that documents the quantity and quality of a faculty member’s educational activities. Since a criterion for rank at JHUSOM is “evidence of creative scholarship in the area of …primary expertise,” those faculty who identify education as their primary expertise will use the Educator’s Portfolio to convey evidence of creative educational scholarship. It can also be used as a faculty development tool. During this presentation, we will review the history of portfolio use in faculty development, and the steps to creating your educator’s portfolio, either on paper or electronically.
