Please join us on Tues, May 15 in the Globe Room from 10 - 11 am to hear Sherry L Hatcher speak on "Ouch, that stereotype hurts!"

"Ouch, that stereotype hurts!" concerns the complications of communicating in today's diverse workplace. Whether you are a supervisor, project manager, faculty, or staff, communicating respectfully is a "must" to be successful in your job.  Biased, stereotypical or otherwise poor communication undermines morale, teamwork, and productivity.  In this training you will learn the skills to enhance your effectiveness and influence by choosing to communicate in a bias-free, inclusive way.
