Come share insights from AIMW25 with Julie Byington [https://x.com/julieb_ctagme] C-TAGME, Ashley Johnson [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N80U5MKFqC4&feature=youtu.be] C-TAGME, Samatha Ankireddy [https://med.psu.edu/departments-faculty/directory/samatha-ankireddy]MD, and Laura Thompson [https://med.psu.edu/departments-faculty/directory/laura-thompson] MD on effective communication and navigating difficult conversations. Understanding our own emotions and personality traits—while being attentive to others’ verbal and non-verbal cues—helps build emotional intelligence and promotes respectful, productive dialogue. Adapting communication styles to different personality types and approaching high-stakes conversations with preparation, psychological safety, and clear follow-up can transform potential conflicts into opportunities for breakthrough.
