Managing conflict is especially tough in virtual teams, where misunderstandings can quickly escalate. This session introduces the Empathy 3R Framework—Respect, Responsibility, and React—to help prevent and manage conflict. Learn how to show respect in digital spaces, take responsibility in tense moments, and respond with empathy when emotions run high. Whether you're leading a remote or hybrid team, you'll gain practical tools to strengthen communication, build trust, and create a more supportive team environment.

=== Opportunities to participate in a coaching circle and a co-development group ===

+

'''Achieve clarity and take action — with the support of your peers.'''

+

Now more than ever, managers need free access to safe, supportive spaces to learn and solve real challenges together. This month, the NMC is promoting two peer-based initiatives the '''NMC Peer Coaching Circles''' (national) and the '''Co-development Groups''' (Québec Region only).

+

[[File:NMC Peer Coaching Circle ENG.png|left|frameless]]

+

Both groups bring together managers from across departments, guided by trained facilitators, to support a peer through real-life work challenges. They share a foundation of confidentiality, respect, and collective learning but differ in their approach:

+

🔹 '''Co-development''' has a mentoring approach. Participants ask questions and offer advice based on their experience with an emphasis on reflection and shared insights. Sessions last 3 hours monthly (Oct–June),

+

🔹 '''Peer Coaching Circles''' use a coaching approach. Participants ask open-ended questions to help the “coachee” gain clarity, reflect deeply, and identify their own path forward. The process fosters self-reflection and empowerment. Sessions are 1 hour every 4–6 weeks (Sept–June).
