We all need to conduct difficult conversations at some time or another. Understandably, many people would do anything to avoid having a difficult conversation and yet avoiding the difficult conversation or mishandling it can result in negative consequences. This half day seminar will equip attendees with the tools necessary to effectively plan for and approach difficult conversations with confidence so they can achieve the most positive outcomes.
Examples of conversations that will be role played include:
- poor employee performance or behaviour
- complaints and grievances
- giving bad news, such as advising unsuccessful job applicants
- addressing conflict
- communicating tough business decisions.
Learning Outcomes from this Workshop:
- When to choose to have that difficult conversation
- Toolkit for successful conversations: Listening, questioning, probing, speaking persuasively
- Emotional intelligence: Understanding your response and when emotional hijacking occurs
- Recognising your default mode under stress and your preferred conflict style
- Examining your beliefs and self-fulfilling tendencies
- Framework for difficult conversations
- Role play: Preparing for and practicing different types of difficult conversations
