Whether you represent the employer or the union, collective bargaining is at the center of the labor/management relationship and preparation is critical. The actions you take and the decisions you make long before that first meeting across the table have a profound effect on the bargaining process and on its outcome. Who will be on the team? What information will you request? How will you determine priorities? Will you survey your constituents? Do you want to have a comprehensive proposal ready on Day 1, or will you present proposals over a period of several meetings? Join us for a discussion of these and many other considerations that will guide the development of your very own pre-negotiations checklist.
Instructor: FMCS Commissioner Jennifer Disotell

COURSE PRESENTED IN THREE, 90-MINUTE SESSIONS
REGISTRATION FEE: $225
Resolving conflict can be challenging. Asking the right questions the right way is a key skill for anyone who wants to be an effective problem-solver in the midst of conflict. In this session, we will look at our thought process in asking questions and others’ thought processes in responding. Following this workshop, participants will be able to recognize the interpersonal dynamics that impact conflict interactions, identify and craft the most effective questions to use in conflict resolution, and develop strategies for improving their own inquiry skills. Participants will come away with greater self-awareness about why they ask particular questions, be able to distinguish between curious and helpful questions, and to better identify empowering vs dis-empowering questions. Participants will also learn how to re-frame conflict and deal with difficult behaviors through the use of questions.
Instructors: FMCS Director of Education and Training Heather Brown and
FMCS Commissioner Valerie Harragin
