Building Confidence in Having Difficult Conversations
Communication is key to personal, team, and organizational success! This session aims to improve interpersonal communication during difficult conversations. Program attendees will learn the difference in productive and non-productive behaviors, a simple model to address non-productive behaviors, and the assumptions and stories we tell ourselves about the other person in the communication that often creates emotion and non-productive behaviors. Attendees will gain knowledge and experience to positively impact the outcome of difficult conversations moving forward.
