The first session, "Conflict Considerations", will be held on Wednesday, February 11^th at the Durham Research Center Auditorium.  At some point in their career, most professionals experience conflict in the workplace that creates a noticeable level of tension.  We are left wondering whether to ignore the conflict and how to break through the resulting roadblocks.  In this session, we will explore the up front analysis of deciding what to do with conflict when it surfaces on your personal radar screen.  We will look at various alternatives, consequences and questions to consider, long before taking action.  The speaker for this session will be Gretchen Finke Patras, President, GFP & Company, Inc.
