Managing Up and Down: Conflict Resolution in the Workplace

From difficult bosses and uncooperative co-workers, to implementing new processes in a resistant environment–learning skills to strategically navigate conflicts within the workplace is perhaps one of the most necessary skills for maintaining a positive and productive work life. Join hosts Young Professionals in the Arts and New York Foundation for the Arts’ Emerging Leaders at NYFA in Brooklyn, for a knowledge and skill building workshop with arts leaders who’ve successfully balanced the art of conflict in the process.

Leading the conversation will be Renee Foster, Chair of Fundraising and Development for the Universal Hip Hop Museum, Judith Pineiro, Executive Director at Association of Art Museum Curators and Maria Villafranca, Director of Communications at The Andy Warhol Foundation.

After the conversation we will break into small groups to enact real-life conflict scenarios and discover resolutions. You will also have the opportunity to discuss solutions, pitfalls, and agreements directly with our speakers.

$10

Held at New York Foundation for the Arts, 20 Jay Street, Suite 740, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
