Engagement with Intact Groups
Thank you for considering the Ombuds Office for an engagement with your group. The Office of the University Ombuds offers a variety of no-cost engagement options with intact groups within the UC community. These are customized experiences that begin with a consultation to discuss your request further with a member of the Ombuds team. The Ombuds will offer options based on your specific needs and context, as well as our Standards of Practice and team member availability. At least two weeks before your desired engagement date, schedule a consultation.
Our group engagements cover the full spectrum of UC-related conflict, and each is tailored to the group’s unique needs. Some example topics are:
- What the Ombuds office does
- Helping things go right within teams, relationships, and/or transitions
- Transforming conflict
- Navigating difficult conversations
- Tools for engaging in conflict
- Practicing curiosity and other conflict navigation skills
- Listening and communication in the presence of difference
- Giving and receiving feedback
- Setting & responding to boundaries
- Exploring hierarchy & managing power differential
- Effective self-advocacy
