WORKSHOPS/SEMINARS
Full day or ½ day Workshops and/or Seminars are available for any of the following topics:
ETHICS

Ethical behavior is essentially "doing the right thing".
• The critical issue is what standards and/or value system determines what is "right" and what is "wrong"
• Ethical standards usually evolve from long standing beliefs within a society concerning right and wrong behavior.
• Religion often plays a major role in establishing those standards for right and wrong.
• Tensions create discord when there is a clash or conflict between one's own personal standards and those of: the corporate culture, the union, a co-worker of a different background, a neighbor, an elected body, an enacted law or judicial decision, a religious body, a political body or the Code of Ethics of a profession.
• The presence of greater diversity in our society requires a careful look at how we ESTABLISH standards for ethical behavior and how we RESOLVE conflict that is exacerbated by different values.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

• Conflict is inevitable. It is the handling of the conflict that determines whether the parties' experience will be positive or negative.
• It is important to understand the common causes of conflict, the different types of conflicts and the high costs (in terms of human and financial resources) of conflicts remaining unresolved.
• It is helpful to understand the ways in which individuals or institutions attempt, often unsuccessfully, to handle conflict..
• Effective communication is critical to resolving conflict.
• Depending on the situation, there are definable "steps" that can be followed to resolve conflicts.

ANGER MANAGEMENT

• Anger, if uncontrolled, can easily escalate to violence.
• Recognizing the symptoms of anger is critical
• Discovering methods of acknowledging and managing one's own emotions/feelings can lessen stress and improve one's sense of well-being.
• The recent horrific, alleged "random" acts of violence bombarding society are but one consequence of "repressed" anger. Open discussions of anger can lead to greater understanding of this debilitating emotion.

RACE RELATIONS

• Prejudice and discrimination, on the basis of race, is a phenomena steeped in the history of the United States of America as well as many other parts of the world.
• Racism can be more effectively discussed and understood in an environment that is free of blame and recriminations.
• The discussion of racism within the context of diversity often helps to overcome the denial that racism still exists.
• The "success" stories of people in communities throughout the USA who have improved race relations can serve as models when there is commitment and good will.
