Diana Chiang Cooke (Associate University Ombud, UW School of Medicine) introduces herself and provides an overview of what the Office of the Ombud offers to faculty, staff, trainees, and students. They are thought-partners for anyone who feels unsure of next steps related to conflict with a colleague, work performance, team dynamics, and more. The Office of the Ombud helps with brainstorming ideas, setting goals, providing feedback, and planning action items. They also provide resources, trainings, and mediated conversations for both individuals and groups, and Diana walks through what those processes entail. For folks seeking a confidential, supportive space for any challenge or resilience skill-building at UW, consider setting up a consultation with the Office of the Ombud.
