- Do you ever hold back your opinion—only to blurt it out later in a way that offends or upsets others?
- Have you found yourself on the receiving end of a lecture or verbal attack and wished you could respond without escalating the situation?
- Have you observed colleagues agree on a plan, only to reverse course when challenged by a leader—and then express their frustrations afterward?
Join us January 20–23 for Crucial Conversations® for Mastering Dialogue, an engaging, instructor-led course designed to help participants communicate effectively when stakes are high and emotions run strong. This in-person training emphasizes group discussion, real-time practice, and supportive coaching to build practical, transferable skills.
Attendance at all four half-day sessions is required. To register, please email Amy Dillman at adillman@illinois.edu.
Registration is first-come, first-served. There is no cost to attend for PRI employees!
