Two workshops, one on managing conflict and one on design, will be offered by the Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University in May.
The first, Managing Conflict in the Workplace, will begin at 1 p.m. Monday, May 6, in Hansen Hall on the Fort Hays State campus.
This three-and-a-half-hour training will discuss the common roots of workplace conflict and strategies for managing the conflict. Participants will learn about the common causes of workplace conflict, how to assess personal conflict styles, best practices for offering critical feedback, and more. Conflict, properly managed, can contribute to organizational innovation and stronger relationships.
Each person who completes this workshop will receive a completion certificate and earn 3.0 Continuing Education Units. Registration closes on April 29. The cost is $119.
The MDC’s brand-new workshop, Design for Non-Designers, addresses the fact that a person does not have to be wildly creative to make effective designs, which are critical to successful marketing efforts. Design creates meaningful first impressions, differentiates an organization from its competitors, boosts awareness. It is also a great way to connect with customers.
This day-long workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, May 9, in the Stouffer Lound of FHSU’s Memorial Union.
The workshop will explore the elements and principles of design and how can it be used to make a company and its products more appealing to potential customers. Participants will learn why design is important for effective marketing, review great (and bad) logos, and much more.
Topics include using color effectively, communicating with type, tips on designing common marketing pieces, and when to hire a professional or design on your own.
Each person who completes this workshop will receive a completion certificate and earn 7.0 CEUs. Registration closes on May 2. The cost for registration is $219.
A 15-percent discount applies for all Hays Area Chamber of Commerce Members on a single session cost.
Registration is available online through the Registration link in the sidebar on the MDC homepage at www.fhsu.edu/mdc.
