How to Disagree Agreeably brought to you by Steve Bobowski & Renee Martin along with the WI chapter of AWMI

Overview

Disagreements are not only inevitable but a natural dynamic between people.  Left unresolved, they can waste time and energy and negatively impact productivity. For many, the normal reaction is to avoid disagreements in order to maintain a peaceful work environment.  Yet we can gain so much from those with whom we disagree if we can learn to view these situations as learning opportunities, and deal with them in an agreeable and professional way.  Research suggests that successfully resolving disagreements can result in greater mutual respect and a more positive relationship. In this session, you will gain insights into your personality and reactions when dealing with differences of opinions surrounding your “hot buttons.”  You’ll be able to give others the benefit of the doubt and use a formula to disagree agreeably with others. Disagreeing in an agreeable way promotes peaceful agreeable outcomes and improved productivity in the workplace.
