How to conduct Difficult Conversations

Most people avoid difficult conversations because they are confronting, difficult, awkward, and the emotional stakes are often high. Leaders at all levels need to learn and understand how not to avoid difficult conversations.

Successfully conducting difficult conversations in the work place can make the difference between success and failure – both for the leader and the school.

This workshop will focus on –

Exploring high conflict people and organisations

Defining conflict and how people respond

Taking a L.E.A.P to problem solve

Applying the 4 x step conversation

Managing performance issues through a 10 step approach.
