HR Expo: Managing Emotional Response To Appreciate Other Perspectives
Schedule
Tue Feb 10 2026 at 07:30 am to 11:00 am
UTC-06:00Location
Fox Valley Tech: D.J. Bordini Center | Appleton, WI
Check in between 7:30–7:45 AM to enjoy breakfast, network with fellow HR professionals, and get entered into our early bird raffle.
After our brief business meeting from 8am-8:30am, we’ll jump into an interactive program with Stephanie Bellin that challenges the way we think about collaboration and communication. Then comes one of the most fun parts of the morning: a dedicated break to explore our Sponsor and Non-Profit tables and browse the silent auction items. You’ll receive a postcard to track your engagement, visit all the tables, turn in your completed card, and you’ll be entered into another raffle. More interaction = more chances to win!
We’ll continue the experience with a Program Breakout Session, followed by the announcement of two raffle winners and our silent auction winners to wrap up the event at 11am.
About the Program:
Collaboration doesn’t always feel inclusive, inviting, or productive and perception often outweighs intent. In this interactive training with Stephanie, we’ll explore the amygdala vs. the cortex and how emotional responses impact communication and connection. You’ll learn how to pause effectively, use learning-focused questions and statements instead of judgment, and understand why assertiveness is the ultimate tool for leading with your cortex.
