Come share insights from AIMW25 with Julie Byington C-TAGME, Ashley Johnson C-TAGME, Samatha Ankireddy MD, and 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.
