Workshops
Conflict Resolution
When you consider that conflict is any situation in which your concerns or desires differ from those of another person, we have all experienced conflict. In order to work together as a team we need to understand that we all have different ways of managing conflict. This session will explain the five conflict managing modes, including your primary mode for managing conflict, and recognizing the conflict managing mode of others. While all conflict is not bad, it does need to be resolved as quickly as possible.
Crisis Management
Do you know what to do if there is a phenomenon of nature or a fire? What about a threat on campus? Mississippi State is a safe place to work and we want you to be prepared in the case of any emergency. Sessions can be offered on Deescalating Customers, Fire, Tornado, and Earthquake.

We all have 24 hours in a day. Are you being the most productive as you can with your time at work? Learn tips for managing email, projects, tasks, and reference materials. You should be in control of your work, not the other way around.
Professionalism
Being professional is more than just how you carry yourself. It’s how you communicate to colleagues, faculty, students, and external customers. It’s how you dress. It’s how you serve. This session will cover all of these topics and more. Professionalism covers all aspect of our jobs.
Professional Branding
Whether you realize it or not, you already have a professional brand. How do you ensure that you are developing the MS”YOU” bran? This session will uncover the critical components of a professional brand, explore development of your brand, and how to maintain and manage your brand.
Small Group Leadership
Many of those who have been chosen to lead small groups have never been given the resources for how to do so. While there are policies and procedures, employee relations issues, and of course, the actual work that needs to be done, this session will give managers a 50,000 foot view of some things you should be practicing. Motivation, delegation, making time for your team, and being hands-on are just a few areas covered in this popular session.
Assessments
DISC
The DISC assessment measures observable behaviors. A person’s behavior is a necessary and integral part of who they are. Much of our behavior comes from “nature” (inherent) and much comes from “nurture” (upbringing). It is the universal language of “how we act.”
The DISC will measure four dimensions of normal behavior(*):
- How you respond to problems and challenges
- How you influence other to your point of view
- How you respond to the pace of the environment
- How you respond to rules and procedures set by others
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator® assessment, knowledge of personality type and how it is used to make people more effective are used by many organizations, large and small throughout the world. When you understand your type preferences, you can approach your own work in a manner that best suits your style, including: how you manage your time, problem solving, best approaches for decision making, and dealing with stress. Knowledge of type can help you better understand the culture of the place you work, develop new skills, understand your participation in teams, and cope with change in the workplace. www.myersbriggs.org
