The Cline Williams Build Your Character Program on Conflict Resolution is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11 from 12:10-1:10 p.m. Sheila Heen, co-author of the bestsellers Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most and Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well (Even When It's Off-Base, Unfair, Poorly Delivered, and Frankly, You're Not in the Mood), will present “Thanks for the Feedback” at the College of Law.
Much of success in life - and certainly as an attorney - depends on your ability to build good working relationships and learn as fast as you can. And yet honest feedback can be hard to come by for a young attorney, or when it does it can be off-base, unfair and poorly delivered. This session will offer a framework for understanding our reactions to feedback, and the skills to drive our own learning - in our professional lives, and in our personal lives.
Sheila Heen is a Lincoln native and currently serves on the faculty at Harvard Law School.
