OTA Institute: Leading with Confidence - Navigating Generations, Conversations, and Conflict

Description

Join us on Tuesday, May 20, for an insightful leadership training led by Ruth Bowdish of On Demand Occupational Medicine. Effective leadership requires the ability to navigate diverse perspectives, communicate clearly, and manage challenging situations. This session equips leaders with practical strategies to bridge generational gaps, enhance communication, and resolve conflicts within the transportation workforce. Attendees will learn to understand generational dynamics, address communication challenges, and foster stronger connections to improve collaboration and productivity.

Additionally, participants will gain tools to manage their own reactions, influence others positively, and achieve effective workplace communication for better business outcomes. The session will also cover key techniques for handling difficult conversations, offering constructive feedback, and de-escalating conflict. Leaders will leave with actionable strategies to transform how they respond to pushback, resolve disagreements, and find common ground when perspectives differ.

The session, running from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm, is priced at $149 for OTA members and $199 for non-members. Hosted at the Ohio Trucking Association headquarters in Westerville, the event will include lunch.
