What’s a Difficult Discussion for you? What
do you do when contention, dissension or disruptive behaviour
are getting out of hand? Handling hard issues and contentious conversations is
something all leaders are expected to be able to take in their stride but it
presents most of us with a real test of our conversational and relational
capabilities. And many managers wind up more adept at sidestepping
confrontation than facing it head on. Difficult
discussions don’t need to be daunting! There are ways to cool down the
heat and help you face up to hard talks with more confidence… “I
wanted to investigate if I am actually avoiding or embracing difficult
discussions… A great couple of days that provided ‘workable’ tools and much
to reflect upon… it was the push I needed to
reinvigorate my curiosity and confidence. Excellent, well worth attending.” Daniel
