Be Kind, For Everyone You Meet Is Fighting a Hard Battle
MPD1 Management and Professional Development
Location: 102C, Wisconsin Center
MONDAY, 8:30 - 9:15 a.m.
We all have times when our real life impacts our work life, when what is happening to us, or in our families, or to our close friends makes doing the daily grind especially hard. Or we may be fine, but we see our colleagues struggling. We know that we're supposed to be supportive. But what should we do? A directed discussion of being a supportive boss or colleague when those around you are in the middle of burdening occurrences in their lives.
