The Secret to Conflict Resolution and Key to Managing Difficult Conversations in Clinical Settings

Описание: [Recorded on August 21st, 2025 - 7pm EST - Managing Conflict]

Welcome to the final installment of the DWS Summer Series! In this powerful webinar, Soledad (Sole), Speech-Language Pathologist, Reg.CASLPO from Differently With Sole tackles one of the most important non-clinical skills you will ever master: Managing Conflict and Difficult Conversations.

We often spend our time perfecting clinical skills, but job satisfaction is often tied to our interpersonal dynamics. Whether you're a new grad dealing with "Imposter Syndrome," a seasoned SLP navigating power dynamics with physicians, or a CDA managing caregiver expectations, this session provides the mindset and the scripts you need to turn tension into progress.

📍 In This Webinar, You’ll Learn:
🎯 The Phoebe Perspective: Shifting from "winning" an argument to finding common ground.
🎯 The 5 Conflict Styles: Identifying if you are an Avoider, Accommodator, Competitor, Compromiser, or Collaborator.
🎯 Psychological Safety: How to foster a workplace where everyone feels safe to speak without fear.
🎯 Emotional Intelligence: Regulating your own emotions so you can respond instead of reacting.
🎯 Scripts for Every Scenario: Specific "power phrases" for peers, multidisciplinary teams, managers, families, and doctors.
🎯 The "Doctor" Script: How to navigate perceived hierarchy with curiosity and humility.
