Course Description

In today’s fast-paced work environment, emotions can run high, leading to situations where people may act in ways that others find irritating or fail to follow through on commitments. How do we address these issues effectively without creating conflict?

When we avoid having direct conversations about troubling behaviors, the tension often manifests in passive-aggressive or even toxic ways.

This workshop delves into the challenges of having frank conversations with colleagues and offers practical solutions. You’ll explore why these conversations often trigger anxiety and, more importantly, how to overcome it.

Key Takeaways:

    • Understand the underlying causes of anxiety around difficult conversations.
    • Learn a proven process for engaging in courageous conversations that deliver a clear message.
    • Maintain healthy working relationships while addressing problematic behaviors.
    • Develop the confidence to confront issues directly, reducing the potential for workplace tension.

Join us to master the art of courageous conversations and create a more positive, productive work environment.
