May 7, 2012
Join Sherry Hatcher from 10 - 11 a.m., Tuesday, May 15 in the Globe Room at the Geophysical
Institute, to hear her lecture "Ouch, That Stereotype Hurts!"*
The speech concerns the complications of communicating in today's diverse workplace.
Whether you are a supervisor, project manager, faculty or staff, communicating respectfully
is a must to be successful in your job. Biased, stereotypical or otherwise poor communication
undermines morale, teamwork and productivity. In this training you will learn the
skills to enhance your effectiveness and influence by choosing to communicate in a
bias-free, inclusive way.
