Interpersonal communications in the workplace poses challenges even for the savviest of professionals. Yet some skills stand out. These include dealing with difficult people; handling complaints or tricky questions; incorporating tact and professionalism into diverse situations; and responding to negativity and gossip.

This interactive and informative webinar will probe the nature of these and other thorny issues you’re likely to encounter no matter where you work. Most important, we’ll explore different strategies you can employ to manage these challenges with aplomb.

In this session, we will cover important information on:

  • Fundamentals of effective workplace communication;
  • Identifying typical challenges in this area faced by library professionals; and
  • Brainstorming ways to respond to challenges and strengthen relationships at work.
