Overview

Difficult conversations are inevitable in any workplace. Those conversations can create unhappiness, stress, and tension. They can also impair and even destroy relationships. When handled poorly, they are likely to result in serious problems that interfere with productivity and leave everyone involved feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. You can’t avoid these kinds of conversations, but you can learn how to have difficult conversation.

Developing the ability to handle these challenging conversations will pay off in terms of reduced stress, increased confidence, improved relationships, increased trust, fewer problems, better teamwork, higher productivity, and better career opportunities.

Our demo, Navigating Difficult Conversations: Delivering Your Message with Poise, Empathy and Resolve, is based on the popular and insightful course from HRDQstore, Navigating Difficult Conversations. This course teaches how to have difficult conversations by introducing participants to a seven-stage process for taking control of difficult situations and helping participants embrace confrontation as a means to produce long-lasting benefits.

Attendees will learn

  • The nature of difficult conversations and what it takes to handle them.
  • The seven stages of handling difficult conversations.
  • How to use empathy in a way that minimizes negative responses and strengthens relationships.
  • How to apply best practices for preparing, initiating, and delivering the conversation.
  • How to generate solutions and bring the conversation to a close.
