SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:When Your Team Keeps Getting Stuck: Working With Tension\, Conflict\, and Challenging Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:The pace of work and the pressure to deliver create just the right conditions for tension to build in teams. You may leave interactions feeling frustrated\, wondering why your team keeps having the same conversations\, avoids the hard ones\, or allows small issues to escalate into major misunderstandings.\n\nIf only other people would pull themselves together\, everything would go smoothly\, right?\n\nHere’s something you may not realize: your communication style may be unintentionally contributing to the very dynamics that frustrate you.\n\nIn this session\, you will learn how to spot the patterns underneath your team’s stuck conversations — and what to do about them. We will explore the four modes of communication that show up in every conversation\, how missing actions create conflict\, and the five common stuck patterns that play out in teams every day.\n\nYou will leave with a practical framework you can use immediately — in your next meeting\, your next hard conversation\, or your next moment of “here we go again.”\n\nWhat you will learn:\n\nHow to shift the role you might be playing in your team’s stuck patterns\nHow to spot the communication patterns that keep your team going in circles\nThe four modes of communication present in every conversation\, and what happens when one goes missing\nThe five most common stuck patterns that show up in teams\nPractical moves you can make to change the conversation in real time

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 39th Graham Hovey Lecture with Christopher Baxter of Spotlight PA
DESCRIPTION:\"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press\, and that can not be limited without being lost.\" - Thomas Jefferson\n\nTwo hundred fifty years ago this summer\, a group of delegates in Philadelphia signed a document that risked everything on a single conviction: that ordinary people\, given truthful information about those in power\, could govern themselves. But that promise is harder to keep every year. The Information Age has transformed into information overload\; it’s more difficult than ever to know what to trust\, and in cities and towns across America\, there are far fewer independent reporters demanding government transparency and holding our officials to account.\n\nJoin Christopher Baxter\, 2016 Knight-Wallace Fellow and founder of the Pennsylvania nonprofit newsroom Spotlight PA\, for a discussion on how local news lost its way\, why the future of our free society and the future of a free press are inextricably linked  — as the founders understood in 1776 — and what journalists and the public can do to ensure the press can fulfill its constitutional role in service to \"We the People.\"\n\nThis is an in-person event and will not be live-streamed. However\, a recording of the lecture will be available on our website following the event.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nChristopher Baxter is the CEO\, president and founding editor of Spotlight PA\,  a nonpartisan\, nonprofit newsroom producing investigative and public-service journalism for Pennsylvania\, where he oversees all aspects of the organization. His work as an investigative reporter and editor has prompted meaningful change\, prompting new laws and regulations\, criminal investigations\, resignations and legislative hearings. He received the 2014 Livingston Award for local reporting for an investigation that exposed how weak oversight allowed New Jersey private schools for students with disabilities\, despite being fully funded by taxpayers\, to engage in questionable spending practices. As a 2016 Knight-Wallace Fellow\, Baxter explored how to support\, promote and integrate enterprise journalism in digital-first newsrooms.\n\nAbout the Graham Hovey Lecture\nThe annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of our national conversations. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey\, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.
