Difficult Conversations
Eventually, we all find ourselves in difficult conversations. They are an inevitable part of our personal and professional lives. Whether they involve conflict, performance, or rising tensions, such moments inevitably produce strong emotions, competing desires, perceptions of unfairness, high risks, and often lead to important outcomes. The ability to master the difficult conversation is a necessary skill for every manager. Furthermore, powerful leaders must not only handle difficult conversations, but harness them to solve problems, rebuild relationships, and uncover existing opportunities. This program provides participants with a framework to navigate and excel at difficult conversations.
