Integrating evidence-based mentoring case studies with insights from the “helping professions” of counseling and coaching, this in-person series synthesizes the art of relational attunement with the science of structured, evidence-based mentoring. Faculty participants will strengthen their ability to mentor with empathy, clarity, and confidence, building relationships that foster growth, inclusion, and resilience. 

The session will run from 10:00am–12:00pm, with lunch provided. An optional discussion will continue until 1:00pm. 

Session 4: The Courage of Repair
Managing conflict and difficult conversations with compassion

  • Respond to tension and misalignment with emotional grounding and respect.
  • Acquire a toolkit for navigating difficult conversations
  • Learn about practices of relational repair 

Each of the four sessions in this series will be co-led by Maria Wisdom, Assistant Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement, and Yan Li, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs.  

This session has been approved for two hours of RCR credit and is intended for graduate faculty.
