Critical Conversations Continued

Back in 2022, UNYOC welcomed Dr. Lyle Foster for an annual conference continuing education workshop on how to have the necessary, difficult conversations that come up over the course of professional life in every kind of workplace and library. Dr. Foster returns for Critical Conversations Continued to continue the discussion.

There are no prerequisites for this workshop – please join us even if you did not attend the 2022 session.

The session will not be recorded. Hope to see you there!

Dr. Lyle Q. Foster (lylefoster@missouristate.edu) is an expert on navigating critical conversations. This course reflects Lyle’s 40 years of experience as a professor, consultant, facilitator, community leader, and diversity & inclusion trainer. Dr. Foster really appreciates the challenge of understanding and developing the skills necessary to address sensitive and difficult topics in a workplace setting. As our workplaces evolve and reflect greater diversity of thought and perspective, the ability to have critical conversations becomes more important than ever. Lyle has provided training and consultation in many areas of the country. His experience in working with navigating difficult conversations includes developing and leading the Tough Talks dialogue series at his university and community, which brought together hundreds of people to consider challenging topics and to engage in constructive conversation. Students and audiences appreciate Lyle’s insight and ability to navigate a variety of ideas and keep a conversation going forward.
