Everyone feels frustrated at times by their inability to be heard by others. Yet women may find that this inability to be heard rises to the level of a problem which limits their effectiveness in the organization. Is it possible for women to be on an equal footing with their male colleagues, and consistently contribute at a level which is not compromised by stereotypic views or prejudice? Is it possible that the typical communication styles that women adopt may actually be contributing to the problem? Gender inequality at work can impact on personal effectiveness and limit the person's ability to influence both the individual and organization. Strengthen your ability to influence others by identifying your preferred influencing styles and strategies. Adopt more productive approaches while maintaining your integrity and authenticity. Learn how the common communication patterns of men and women vary and how conventional assumptions may get in the way of real understanding. Practice strategies that will help you be heard in interpersonal and group situations. Strategize ways to effectively ask for behavior change from others, and how to leverage your personal power and influence.

Communication has never been more important than it is today. The world has become more sophisticated and complex and people have higher expectations. At the same time, we all work in a climate of increasing time pressures, financial constraints,and personal accountability. Given such competing demands it is not surprising that dissatisfaction and complaints continue to increase. Much of the time, these complaints and disagreements often relate more to what was said (or the way it was said) than what was done. By the end of instruction participants will be able to describe their own psychological type preferences in terms of the MBTI framework, identify the ways their type prefers to interact, and recognize behavior cues from each type preference. Further participants learn to identify behavioral cues and mental functions and explain how others prefer to receive communication in a professional setting. The session offers the time to discuss and begin to practice alternative ways of communicating with people of different type preferences to flex communication style. It is suggested, but not required, that participants have some past knowledge of the MBTI, although it is not expected that people will have gained that knowledge at Hopkins.

Dealing effectively with conflict is difficult for leaders and followers alike. 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. How can we assess how we currently handle conflict and develop the skills we need to deal with conflict more effectively. This course examines the sources of conflict in organizations, and probes the special nature of traditional adversarial roles, hierarchy, and special interests within an organization. Through case studies, role-plays, and examples shared in class, participants investigate effective methods for reaching satisfactory agreements. The Conflict Dynamics Profile is administered to provide the individual with greater self-knowledge of personal style. Using small-group activities, participants develop and practice effective conflict resolution strategies.

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.

As university faculty we seek to make a contribution - to our fields and to the field of higher education while wearing many hats in our complex job descriptions of teacher, scholar, clinician, advisor, and administrator. This lively, interactive workshop will give you principles, strategies and tips for making this next year your best year ever! Practical suggestions and exercises derived from the research on wellness, peak performance, and positive psychology will help you reenter the classroom, lab, clinic, and office with a renewed sense of why you are there and how you can be more effective in all your roles.
