Title: Women in Science Workshop: Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace: Dealing with Conflict and Difficult People

Session Description: The 2020 ASA, CSSA, and SSSA Women in Science Committee Workshop will help the women in our sciences develop skills to effectively deal with conflict. Emotional intelligence is a valued skill both in the workplace and in our personal lives as well. It helps improve communication, management, problem-solving, and relationships. It also is a valued skill when dealing with persistent conflict and difficult people in the workplace, which can impact morale, damage professional relationships, and weaken organizational results. This workshop will focus on what emotional intelligence is how it can help you in both your professional and personal life when dealing with conflict and difficult people. Immediately after the workshop, the committee will host a meet and greet social for all attendees.  A special thank you to PBI-Gordon and USDA-NRCS for their financial support to defray the registration costs for attendees!
