In this webinar, we will explore:

  • the types of conflicts that tend to arise and why they tend to occur. 
  • how to recognise the early warning signs and triggers where possible.
  • Identify our beliefs and mindset when it comes to conflict in general – as these tend to determine if and how you approach the conflict space.
  • A five-step method to navigating conflicts in a way that maintains or strengthens the relationship. 
  • how to create an environment where students and colleagues feel safe to raise issues early.

Workshop Series

This workshop is part of a pilot series commissioned by UCL Research, Innovation and Global Engagement (RIGE) in partnership with Workplace Health and Dickerson et al. 

The workshop series aims to equip supervisors with the tools to build psychological safety with their researchers, ensuring that they feel valued and recognised, and that their mental health and wellbeing are prioritised and supported.
