……taking a positive, solutions-focused approach

to handling difficult performance talks

 

Winning Formulas – Watch What You Say…

Lots of us struggle when it comes to difficult performance conversations where we have to deliver hard messages or say things that get staff off-side so they get defensive and either retreat or retaliate…

Often the results we get depend not only on what we say but also how we say it – and a few small adjustments can make all the difference to making your messages more “sayable” and “hearable”.

Positive Performance Conversations equips you with effective verbal formulas and frameworks to more carefully craft your approach and help you over the potential hurdles that can loom-up during any tricky performance conversation.

Whether you’re dealing with a diligent or difficult performer, as a leader, it’s up to you to set the right tone, say the right kind of things in the right way, and make it safe for staff to engage in the process, if you want to get results and make performance conversations a more worthwhile, productive-rather-than-pointless pursuit for both of you...

Positive Performance Conversations works on a simple principle: focus on the positives you want to see, not the negatives you don’t.  Our 5 Footings and Frameworks Model helps you to focus less on what's wrong and more on what’s expected; to create a different emotional climate that enables you to give difficult feedback in constructive ways, and keep defensiveness at bay so they hear what you have to say and heed your help.

Cover crucial scaffolding to help you plan and prepare. Take a tour of carefully-crafted formulas to conduct talks with reluctant performers more competently and learn how to:

·       Structure your conversation better with our 5 Footings and Frameworks model

·       Start conversations on a firm but neutral footing

·       Deliver difficult feedback that is more ‘sayable’ and ‘hearable’

·       ‘De-vague’ – be more specific in the way you dissect performance issues

·       Handle defensiveness anxiety and other high-pitched emotions

·       Level – say what performance you need and why they need it too

·       Reframe – put negative performance issues across positively

·       Stay Focused – keep it on track, clear, frank and fact-based

·       Coach to find solutions – get commitment to goals and actions

“Thought provoking and practical. This program demonstrated real steps that lead towards building performance. Good visual examples, clear explanations, and tool-practice activities all helped my learning. Thank you Bill, for delivering a tangible and engaging program that was timely, relevant and extremely practical.” Trish K, USQ
