Use any of these statements

to respond to a conflict.

• "Tell me more about your concern"
• "What is it about ___________ that concerns you?"
• "What would have to happen for you to be comfortable with ______________?"

Proactive Approach

to building your network.

• Create or join an affinity group on campus to share ideas on your team goals.
• Stay in touch. The best way is an old-fashioned face-to-face get together.

• Reach out to new colleagues. Take the initiative to develop a relationship with them.
• Spend time at breaks with a variety of colleagues and acquaintances.
• Offer help. It feels good to help others, and it builds your connection with them.
