The Ladder of Inference: Avoid Jumping to Conclusions (BSM 198)
9:30 a.m. to noon Tuesday, May 2
Room 134, Center for Business & Workforce Development
In today’s fast-moving world, you are often pressured to act immediately rather than taking the time to apply reason and focus on the true facts. This can lead you to the wrong conclusions and cause conflict with others. It’s key to make certain your actions and decisions are founded on reality. With the Ladder of Inference, you can learn to use facts, beliefs and experiences in a positive manner rather than allowing them to narrow your field of judgment. Following this step-by-step reasoning will lead you to better results, based on reality, avoiding unnecessary mistakes and conflict.
Enhancing Workplace Relationships (BSM 336)
9 a.m. to noon Thursday, May 4
Room 134, Center for Business & Workforce Development
This course focuses on examining and improving the quality of workplace relationships. An assessment of interpersonal style provides a framework for developing, understanding, and building skills in working effectively with others. The course also provides guidelines for overcoming common difficulties in building high-quality work relationships.
