Dr. Jody Janati currently teaches in the Communication Studies Department at the University of Minnesota. She has an Ed.D. degree in Organizational Leadership and her primary interest area pertains to interpersonal conflict resolution strategies. As an author and independent consultant, she offers a variety of public and professional workshops on conflict reduction tactics and effective interpersonal communication skills. There are a number of conflict management workshops offered each year, yet rarely does the facilitator tell participants exactly what should be said or done. This fact, along with her graduate degree in Communication, is precisely why Dr. Janati considers the step by step approach, her primary focus.
