DDM Series Launches with “Skip the Drama”

Amy Gallo will offer tips on healthy conflict.

The ever-popular Deputy Director for Management (DDM) seminar series kicks off its 2025 lineup with “Skip the Drama and Embrace Healthy Conflict.” The seminar, featuring advisor, workshop facilitator and author Amy Gallo, will take place virtually (https://videocast.nih.gov). Please note: this seminar has been rescheduled. Date TBA.

In this session, Gallo will discuss improving relationships and driving excellence at work. She advises taking a deeper look at the role biases play in making some of our interactions more difficult than others. Her research-backed frameworks introduce leaders, individuals, teams and organizations to the kind of productive conflict that spurs independent thought, challenges new ideas and yields solutions that are strengthened by collective input.

The engaging DDM seminar series provides insights into leadership and management challenges and solutions. The 2025 series will address conflict, resilience, appreciation and purpose. Mark your calendars for the remaining three DDM seminars: March 6, May 15 and July 10.
