Embracing Challenges to Increase Collaboration

This workshop is part of Miki Kashtan's MCR series.

This workshop focuses on overcoming the fundamental obstacle to working together effectively: our acquired aversion to conflict and challenge. Together we will explore ways to transform challenge into an opportunity to deepen trust and collaboration. Key to making it all work is combining an awareness of needs – personal, collective, and systemic - with a commitment to solutions that work for all and are attentive to the goals and values of the organization as a whole.
