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!

Sylvia Nasar

A Pulitzer finalist and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography,  the book was adapted into a 2001 film that received four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The powerful, dramatic biography of math genius John Nash, who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.

“How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?” asked the Harvard visitor to the West Virginian with movie-star looks and Olympian manner.

“Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did,” came the answer. “So I took them seriously.”

Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the intensely human drama of a mathematical genius who, early in life, made an astonishing discovery and stood on the brink of international acclaim when he slipped into madness.

Thanks to the selflessness of his devoted wife, Alicia, and the loyalty of the mathematics community, Nash emerged after decades of a ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution.

Sylvia Nasar’s now-classic biography, which inspired an Academy Award-winning movie, is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.

"A Beautiful Mind" on Audible, Kindle, and Hardcover

Sylvia Nasar was a New York Times economics correspondent from 1991 to 1999 and the first John H. and L. Knight Professor of Journalism at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.  Nasar broke the story of John Forbes Nash Jr. in the New York Times and achieved international acclaim for her epic biographical study, A Beautiful Mind.  Her biography of Nash, a mathematician, game theorist, and winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics, won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. A drama about the mystery of the human mind in three acts, A Beautiful Mind inspired the eponymous Academy Award-winning movie by Ron Howard.    Nasar followed up this triumph with 'The Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius', a sweeping history of the development of modern economics. Sylvia Nasar grew up in Germany and Turkey, the daughter of a German mother and Uzbek father who served as the CIA station chief in Ankara. Nasar's work has appeared in the New Yorker, BusinessWeek, the New York Times Book Review, and numerous other publications.
