Professional Development: Laugh & Learn Conflict Resolutions Skills – Part IV: Development Path Disagreements

  • Online

Club of Washington D.C.

Tuesday, May 20, 7:30pm - 8:30pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

Join the fourth Laugh & Learn session of the Professional Development Series!

Educators and engineers Marie-Louise Murville and Malcolm Knapp have teamed up to teach essential professional skills often overlooked in traditional education, such as conflict resolution and handling difficult people. Unlike conventional training programs, Laugh & Learn blends best-practice methodologies with humor, making skill development both engaging and enjoyable.

Participants will not only learn practical strategies for real-world challenges but also engage in role-playing exercises in private breakout sessions. You’ll even watch live demonstrations of “right way/wrong way” scenarios to reinforce key concepts.

Our fourth session is titled “Conflict Resolutions Skills – Development Path Disagreements.”  (You do not need to have attended any of the earlier sessions to join the fourth!)

In this session, we explore the unique dynamics of project decision-making conflicts and why they demand approaches distinct from previous conflict types covered in our series. You'll learn techniques for crafting compelling arguments that foster resolution rather than resistance. Expect interactive role-playing, including responding to disagreements such as: 'Your idea is obviously wrong. In my 20 years of experience, I have never seen it done that way.'

How would you navigate this conversation productively? Join us to practice and refine these skills!
