Having a difficult conversation is a stressful and high-stakes endeavor, especially in the workplace. Often these conversations are delayed or avoided altogether, which can impede interpersonal and team relationships as well as individual and team performance. Learning how to have difficult conversations well involves an understanding of emotional intelligence, the ability to self-manage in the moment, the skill to deliver feedback effectively, an understanding of brain science as it relates to emotions during difficult conversations, and the ability to flex communication styles as needed to ensure the conversation is as effective and impactful as possible. This skill is essential for everyone in an organization as it opens the doors to a culture of improved communication, trust, and authenticity that can increase individual, team, and organizational performance and impact.
In this instructor-led program, learners explore the proper use of emotional intelligence and self-management skills when communicating with others, especially around difficult conversations. The program provides learners with research-based frameworks, practices, and insights to use when preparing for and engaging in high-stakes conversations. It is ideal for organizations that want to increase practical professional skills, as well as anyone who wants to increase their effectiveness and impact with peers, superiors, direct reports, and colleagues.
This program is available as an onsite program in half or full day durations, or virtually as one or two 60-90-minute sessions.
