When you sense conflict, do you address it or avoid it? Have you ever had a conversation go terribly wrong and wonder “What just happened?” You are not alone! In this interactive session, we’ll explore what makes some conversations difficult and discuss strategies to reduce anxiety and engage with greater confidence. Content builds upon the January 27th Negotiation Strategy session (attendance is encouraged, but not required). A pizza lunch will be provided. 

Learn about and find ways to manage Impostor Phenomenon. In this workshop, the Impostor Phenomenon Research Collaborative (IPRC) will deliver an informative presentation that will promote a better understanding of Impostor Phenomenon among UMass stakeholders by:

• Defining Impostor Phenomenon (IP) and discussing its implications on achievement, advancement, and career development.
• Identifying the relationships between IP, motivational, psychological, and mental health outcomes in students and faculty.
• Discussing strategies to recognize and address IP in graduate students and faculty. 

Sponsored by the CNS Dean’s Office, Office of Faculty Development, and the Graduate School. This event is open to all UMass Amherst faculty, librarians, graduate students, and postdocs.
