Event Description
April 1, 2011 – 9:30am – 3:30pm
At one time or another, we all face issues in the workplace:
- Your co-worker isn’t carrying a fair share of the load.
- Your staff members are in-fighting, and look to you to resolve their issues.
- The department that is supposed to support you is giving you attitude.
- You have ideas to help the company, but you’re hitting a brick wall.
- You’re considering filing a formal complaint, or are worried that one against you or the company may be brewing.
- You think a policy is outdated, a decision is unfair to you, or a strategy is harmful to the team, but aren’t sure how to bring it up.
Handling workplace issues in an effective manner saves you & the company time, money, reputation and relationships. Employees give discretionary effort as team players when ‘engaged.’ Learn these techniques through exercises, examples, and practical how-to guidelines:
- The three basic ways to handle issues, and guidelines for when to use which
- How to address a conflict with a colleague without making it worse
- Coaching others in using problem-solving skills to resolve their own issues
- ‘Disagreeing up’ – giving input, challenging policies & decisions
- The keys to turning issues into resolutions, and an adversarial situation into a partnership
Time & Place: 9:30 – 3:30 on Friday, April 1, at Community Mediation Inc, 32 Elm Street, New Haven.

Living Resiliently: In the Wake of Hurricane Helene, LISC’s Sam Ruark Reflects
LISC’s new director of green initiatives is helping lead a groundbreaking effort to decarbonize the nation’s affordable housing and help low-income communities build resiliency in the face of the harmful impacts of climate change. Here, after personally weathering Hurricane Helene in the intentional “ecovillage” where he lives in North Carolina, Ruark paints a picture of what’s at stake, and how the planet and people can heal together.Tiffany Durr Named President of LISC Fund Management
Durr has served as interim president of LFM since May and in that time has ushered in a series of new investors and project closings. "She understands how to connect with investors on questions of risk, return and impact as well as how to make connections with developers, community organizations and city leaders to generate the best possible outcomes,” said Michael Pugh, LISC president and CEO.Power to the Changemakers: LISC’s Tatia Ash on Capacity Building with Respect
As capacity builders, we hope to help strengthen grassroots organizations so they can effectively—and independently—drive progress in their communities. To do that, argues LISC senior program officer Tatia Ash, we must not only guide but also listen deeply, show respect, and share power.
