Conflict Management in the Workplace Featuring HOFer and Past President Chuck Kimmel  TUESDAY 4-6PM
Athletic trainers are very skilled at responding in emergency situations on the field, but are we also skilled at responding in situations that are critical to our success or that of our athletes and/or our advancement?  Learning how to deal with conflict – rather than avoiding it – is crucial. When conflict is mismanaged, it harms the relationship, but when handled in a respectful, positive way, conflict provides an opportunity for growth. By learning these skills for conflict resolution, you can keep your personal and professional relationships strong, build your reputation and earn your desired result.  This session with Past President Chuck Kimmel, Former YPC Chair Kim Detwiler and YPC National Distinction Award Winner Adam Annaccone, will offer an interactive look at ways to properly manage critical conversations including salary negotiations, workplace disagreements, etc.
