Why Should You Attend

Disrespect at work happens. It is inevitable in our stressful, constantly changing business world. Project managers and business analysts are often the targets for frustrated, impatient, and badly behaved clients and coworkers. If we ignore the problem or confront it without a plan, workplace disrespect can ruin a client relationship, a project, and your team culture. If handled carefully and effectively, your relationships and workplace culture will be enriched. This makes disrespect management critical. Join us to develop skills to have successful “hard conversations” to confront bad behavior at work and manage the key communication risks involved.
