for anyone keen to handle confrontation more effectively

Difficult Discussions: Managing the unavoidable

Easy to apply tools and a process to follow to convert destructive confrontation into constructive conversation

No matter how conversationally competent we are, we all have times when things just don’t go ‘right’ – no matter what efforts we make or conversational strategies we try. How do you shape up in managing those difficult conversational moments? Do you resort to blame, accusation, domination – or retreat into silence and hope it will all slide past?

Challenging, confronting or contentious conversations cause so much conflict and stress in workplaces. Poorly handled or avoided, they detract from performance and erode work relationships. They're something we could all learn to handle better.

Do you want to build the confidence to have more courageous conversations at work and tackle those difficult discussions we all avoid?

The Change Forum offers a 2-day conversational coaching clinic: ‘Dealing with Difficult Discussions’ that equips you with a robust set of easy-to-use tools and a step-by-step approach to navigate your way through those troublesome moments and help you convert destructive confrontations into more constructive conversations.  Highly beneficial for anyone who wants to be able to handle difficult conversations more confidently and constructively – managers, team leaders, committee members, facilitators, trainers, customer liaison officers.

You can do something constructive about handling confrontation better, overcoming anxiety and managing your own responses to challenging situations more effectively... Dealing with Difficult Discussions offers you a safe, supportive environment to explore:

What do people say about this highly regarded clinic?

An interactive 1-day seminar for non-supervisory STAFF

We believe it’s just as important for staff as it is for leaders, to understand and manage emotions and become more emotionally aware. 

This 1-day down-to-earth, lively seminar shows staff what EI is, why it matters and how to start applying basic EI tools and behaviours at work. Here’s a fantastic way to give a boost to your staff’s motivation and commitment levels not to mention improving the way they relate to you and the rest of the team! 

If you want to bring out the best in your staff you’ll want to send them along to this stimulating seminar… Extra discounts for groups of 3 or more...  Download course Brochure for details and registration form...

Got interested colleagues and friends? Greatly appreciated if you can please forward this course notice on to staff, colleagues and friends who may be keen to strengthen their leadership skills base – or encourage others to – and create energetic and pro-active leadership cultures at work. And if you would extend this circulation to include your wider management, HR or government networks, we’d also be most grateful.

Thank you for your time.  And if you don't want any more notices of upcoming events or newsletters – that’s OK, just let us know.  (Unsubscribe link below)
