Either <br />we overreact, or we avoid the problem, sometimes at great cost to relationships, decisions, and projects. <br />The Glasers teach evidence-based skills that help people work through <br />communication breakdowns – and even create trust through conflict. They <br />provide user-friendly guidelines and practical steps to develop and maintain <br />positive relationships. <br />Peter A. Glaser, Ph.D. and Susan R. Glaser, Ph.D. joined the University of <br />Oregon faculty in 1975. They hold doctorates in Communication from the <br />Pennsylvania State University. The Glasers have been married business <br />partners and co-presenters for 39 years, working with Fortune 500 companies <br />including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Weyerhaeuser, Tektronix, Hyundai, and <br />Sony, as well as governments from the local to federal level. <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />August 25, 2011 <br />
