Hey Sam,
This is Jenna from the Leadership Development Workshop last Tuesday – we sat next to each other during the afternoon session on conflict resolution. I promised I would send you my notes and the speaker’s slides, and I am so sorry it has taken me this long to follow up.
The past week has been chaos at work – my team had a major deadline, and I have barely had time to breathe. That is not an excuse, though. I should have sent this earlier, and I apologize for the delay.
Anyway, as promised, here are the materials:
1. My notes from both sessions – I have attached a PDF. I tried to capture the key frameworks and examples the speaker gave. Pages 1-3 are from the morning session on emotional intelligence, and pages 4-6 are from the afternoon session on difficult conversations.
2. The speaker’s slides – I asked the organizer, and she sent me the PDF. I have attached that as well.
3. A bonus resource – I found a really good article on the same topic from Harvard Business Review. I have attached it in case you are interested.
I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed our conversation during the lunch break. It was great to meet someone else in the non-profit sector. If you ever want to grab coffee or continue that conversation about fundraising strategies, I would be totally up for that.
Let me know if the attachments came through okay. And sorry again for the slow reply!
Best,
Jenna
