Target Audience: This is an interactive, online training for state employees new to ADR.  In order to participate, you will need strong Wi-Fi with a working camera and microphone on your computer (attendees will be asked to keep their cameras on). Attendees must be able to attend the full 3-hour training.  There is no cost to attend and attendance is limited.

Have you encountered someone who refuses to take responsibility for their actions?  How about that coworker who lets everyone else do the work, but takes their share of the credit?  Do you avoid confrontation, especially when it is a sensitive topic?  Join us for this online training to learn some tips and develop skills that address tough conversations people avoid because they aren’t sure how to approach sensitive and awkward situations.
