Learned helplessness is the feeling many school district administrators know too well when it comes to labor relations and bargaining: "Why even bother trying? I know how this will end." Much like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, it can feel like an uncontrollable, endless cycle. But you can improve the situation. Learned helplessness is a self-limiting belief, nothing more. This multi-part series equips you with behavioral and communication tools and the power to make bargaining hopeful. You will build concrete, actionable skills that grow your confidence at the table, culminating in a real-world bargaining simulation that puts everything into practice.
