Organized into nine sessions (August-December), the fellowship provides a unique opportunity to bring forth a challenge you and your team may be grappling with. You will learn the core tenets of improvement, practice implementing tools and strategies, and reflect on your learning with others.

Unspoken Words: A Foundation for Conflict Growth

Unspoken words can affect the healthiest organizations, teams or relationships. Failing to communicate feelings, concerns or issues effectively can lead to negative emotions such as bitterness or resentment. To address challenges, engaging in "crucial conversations" can be an effective communication practice to discuss important issues and concerns openly. 

If you seek impartial support to have productive conversations with other district employees, contact the Ombuds Office at 720-423-4776 for confidential and informal assistance.
