2022 IUPUI Last Lecture – Lessons for Life from a Lifetime of Learning Featuring Dr. Sherry Queener

"In achieving your professional goals, conflicts are inevitable but how do you deal with conflicts without creating anger and animosity?

One strategy is to keep your goals transparent and use data as a tool to address opposition. Make the conflict about ideas and avoid making it personal. Seek to understand your opponent’s position and reframe the argument in terms that allow resolution. Conflict, approached this way, can be an opportunity for improvement and progress." – Sherry Queener
