FridayNonviolent Communication
Easy and appreciative interaction in challenging encounters In the professional environment, we encounter many different people, decisions need to be made quickly, numerous conflicts must be resolved, and diverse tasks often have to be managed simultaneously. In such situations, it is helpful to maintain an appreciative approach toward all parties involved while also treating oneself with kindness. Do you sometimes wonder: - How could I have expressed myself better? - How can I communicate my own concerns more effectively? - How can I remain appreciative, centered and confident in a challenging conversation? Lydia Kaiser will guide you through the principles of Nonviolent Communication, give you tools to approach challenging conversations and work with practical examples and situations.

TuesdayDaring: The Art of Failing Gracefully
This workshop is part of the IRENE Workshop Series "Surviving to Thriving in Academia". "The physics of vulnerability. It's pretty simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. Daring is not saying, "I'm willing to risk failure." Daring is saying, "I know I will eventually fail, and I'm still all in." During this workshop take 3-steps towards failing gracefully and increase your resilience exponentially. • The Reckoning: Discover the pivotal successes and failures throughout your life and what you can learn from the nature of your failures over time. • The Rumble: Use an alternative CV of failures to become more resilient in your approach, separating success and failure from your self-worth. • The Revolution: Leave with the leadership to address failure positively. Specifically learn how to give and receive candid feedback without taking it personally and use failure to drive innovation.
