TCC: Leading Effective and Impactful Meetings Workshop #4 - Structuring Productive Conversations

Join us for the final workshop in our four-part series Leading Effective and Impactful Meetings on Wednesday, June 8 from 11 am – 12 pm at the Downtown campus. Stay tuned for the Professional Development week schedule for room location. 

Structured productive conversations raise up all voices instead of just the few. Constructing inclusive conversations is a technique which brings focus to useful collaborative work while avoiding unproductive tangents. In the Structuring Productive Conversations workshop, participants will explore the application of protocols to create a space for purposeful, reflective dialogue. Using structured techniques collected by the School Reform Initiative, participants will be introduced to suitable conversation based protocols for meetings.   

Whether an individual is looking to reimagine the design of meeting conversations or envision a new phase of back and forth dialogue between colleagues, this workshop will provide relevant takeaways for structuring productive conversations. 

So that we have a sense of who to expect, please email Gena Merliss (emerliss@monroecc.edu) if you plan to attend. Looking forward to seeing you there!
