Civility is a current buzzword topic.  People want civil workplaces, but what if the problem isn’t civility? What if there are legitimate disagreements? How do we navigate civilly through disagreements if the other person – isn’t being civil?  Should we just give in for the sake of ‘civility?”This program is broken into two sections.
