Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Workshop #3– Cultural Differences– Communication Styles and Conflict Styles

This training will help participants deepen their understanding of how culture influences different communication styles, which can often lead to misunderstanding and conflict. We will examine different communication and conflict styles and learn new strategies for identifying barriers to healthy communication and managing conflict in the workplace.
