SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable - Working with all kinds of people (yes\, even the difficult ones): Simple skills for real-world teams
DESCRIPTION:  \nWorking in teams can be tough. Which may be the very reason for the popularity of reality TV shows. “Did you see what he did when she did X and how they responded?!” \nIt can feel like there are multiple thick filters between your team intentions and your results. \nWe’re endlessly fascinated\, often overwhelmed\, sometimes frustrated\, and occasionally delighted by our fellow humans—and what it’s like to try to work together regularly.  \nTeams bring energy\, creativity\, and collaboration—but also miscommunication\, conflicting priorities\, and those moments when dynamics feel downright dubious. \nIn this interactive\, engaging Learning and Development Roundtable\, we’ll explore practical\, easy-to-use strategies to navigate the ups and downs of teamwork. You’ll leave with concrete tools to communicate more effectively\, handle challenging interactions with confidence\, and maintain your own clarity and focus. \nYou’ll gain insights into group dynamics\, discover ways to keep collaboration productive\, and feel more empowered in the face of daily team challenges. \nJoin us to learn\, share\, and leave with actionable approaches that make working in teams more enjoyable\, effective\, and less stressful. Just think how improving your team interactions could change your day-to-day work! \nIn this free workshop with me on March 19th\, Lee-Anne Ragan you’ll learn:\n\nUse the three S filter to easily spot which type of team member you’re dealing with\nLearn the R&R technique to customize your best strategy for the best outcome\nDiscover seven tools at your fingertips that are standing by for your use anytime and anywhere to help you and your team \nGain access to 13+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources \nCount the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend\, any and all are welcome) \n\nRSVP using this link  by March 17th.
