Overview

In this workshop, we’ll start by looking at the situations the most challenging attendees are having courageous conversations. We will then look at the role emotional intelligence plays in handling these types of conversations. 

Why you should Attend

Emotions are running high and people sometimes do things that others find irritating. Sometimes people do not hold to their commitments. How do we confront that? How do we bring that to someone’s attention without it turning into an ugly scene? When we don’t learn to have frank conversations with others about behavior that’s troubling, it often comes out in passive-aggressive, sometimes toxic ways.  

This workshop explores why having frank conversations with peers in the workplace is so fraught with anxiety and what to do about it.  You will learn a process for having courageous conversations that both deliver a clear message AND maintain a healthy working relationship.
