You will discover how to expand the array of negotiable items and develop an employment or compensation package that meets your needs.

Special Guest Speaker:
Catherine J. Morrison, JD
Negotiation and Conflict Management Consultant & Coach (http://createagreement.com)

​

BIO: Catherine J. Morrison, JD is a negotiation and conflict management expert who helps academic professionals become more capable at resolving conflicts and negotiating effective change. She brings extensive experience as an administrator in academic medicine and an award-winning professor. She employs negotiation and conflict management frameworks that are compatible with clinical diagnostic models and bioscience research approaches and that apply across diverse cultures. Among her consulting clients are: Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University School of Medicine, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM), University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences, New York University Langone Medical Center, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, University of Virginia School of Medicine, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, University of Vermont College of Medicine, Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She is an Associate Faculty member in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Catherine is a two-time recipient of the Best of Hopkins teaching award from the graduates of Johns Hopkins University's Business of Medicine MBA program. She has also received the Excellence in Teaching award from the Graduate Division of Business and Management at Johns Hopkins. She has served in senior administrative roles at the University of Texas Medical Branch, University of Maryland Baltimore, and Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and has practiced law. She received her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania and undergraduate degree from Oakland University. As both a participant and an observer in academic health care management and the practice of law, Catherine recognized the transformative potential of negotiation and conflict for individuals and organizations. Her consulting, teaching, and research are grounded in the belief that individuals can use negotiation and conflict as a means to define themselves and others. Effective negotiation can be an opportunity to engage in a collaborative, imaginative dialogue to develop unique ideas and agreements. When thoughtfully analyzed and appropriately managed, the energy of conflict can be used to strengthen ideas and relationships. Catherine's favorite place to spend time outside the classroom is in a free weights only gym. She trains, and occasionally competes, as a power lifter. After seven years of training, she believes that her experience in the gym has enhanced her teaching and consulting capabilities. The purpose of powerlifting is not to carry heavy burdens. It requires mindful assessment of a seemingly immovable object and the use of exquisite form to move it forward without injuring yourself or others. It also teaches you to know your own limitations and recognize that there are some burdens that should not be carried. Catherine views negotiation and conflict management in much the same way. They both require analysis and mindful engagement with the purpose of forward movement without harm to self and others.
