Writing Skills - Friday 8:30am - 10:00am
Location: Jefferson Conference Center 1D70
Presenter:
Al Halstead
USPTO Enterprise Training Division
Good writing doesn’t need to be difficult or stressful. In this workshop,
you will explore plain language principles and writing tips for being clear
and concise in all forms of written communication. Bring pen and paper.
While this is mostly a lecture, you will participate in one or two simple and
safe writing exercises. You will also walk away from this workshop with a
better understanding of why your readers do or do not respond as you
wish.
Conflict Management Part I & II - Friday
10:15am - 11:45pm & 1:00pm - 2:30pm
Location: Jefferson Conference Center 1D70
Presenter:
Tanya Hellams
USPTO Enterprise Training Division
Conflicts happen when two different individuals perceive some incompatibility
between themselves, which can lead to conflict. How a person reacts and deals
with that conflict will have a large impact on the outcome. In order to effectively
manage the conflict, we must first identify our role in the conflict and how we are
perceived by others. Conflict management is the process of limiting the negative
while increasing the positive aspects as we communicate our goals and objectives.
Communication is the key to resolving conflict management. You can have a
healthy conversation by having the ‘crucial conversation’ at the right time. The
goal of having a crucial conversation is to provide skills that will enable you to talk
to almost anyone about almost anything at work or at home and essentially eliminating the conflict.

Ever wonder why we do the things we do, and perhaps more importantly, why others do the things they do or see the things they see? Why do
some possess the leadership skills to influence teams of people in positive ways while others do not? Attend this workshop and discover how
your brain processes data to the point of seeing things that are not there.
We will share with you effective strategies that convert leaders from
good to great and how a small change in your approach can make a big
difference in your career. Dare to think differently.
