Building Conversational Confidence:
We all have a natural need to be heard – to
have our say and have our ideas and feelings listened-to, acknowledged
and understood. While we want to have a say in conversations, not all of
us plunge fearlessly into them. That's where this clinic comes in... Our
theme here is “SPEAK-UP”. It’s about helping you overcome conversational
reluctance; lessening your anxiety; saying what you have to say; and
putting your views forward in ways that will be heard. It also aims to
help you stay engaged in, and follow, a conversation; listen to hear
what others have to say, and connect with them.

Positive Performance
Conversations: Dealing with poor
performance, as most leaders will tell you, is one of the most commonly
avoided and widely feared species of difficult discussions. It’s not
identifying performance issues that’s the obstacle. It’s raising
defensiveness - giving difficult feedback to people whose reactions are
emotionally volatile and the conversational course you chart,
unpredictable. A special extension to our popular Difficult
Discussions clinic, this 1-day practical program provides a staged
approach and carefully-crafted conversational formulas to help you
become more comfortable and competent to deliver difficult feedback and
deal with low performers.

mantra heard in many management meetings, yet culture is notoriously

you can understand a culture, and learn some lessons about what seems to
work and what doesn’t, then you have a chance of changing it for the
better. Now offered in both 2-day and 1-day 'fast-track' formats
depending on location. Find out more >>> |
