What is a difficult conversation?
In the workplace, a difficult conversation is one in which you have to manage emotions and information in a sensitive way, to deal with a workplace issue.
Typically these are topics you don’t want to talk about, situations where you’re not sure what to say, circumstances where the outcome is uncertain or discussions that make you or the other person feel uncomfortable.
However, as a supervisor it is likely that you will need to have difficult conversations from time to time. This is not only normal; it is part of your job.
We avoid difficult conversations in the workplace because it makes us feel uncomfortable. However, most workplace problems do not go away by themselves. Your best strategy is to learn the steps to have a difficult but successful conversation. This valuable and engaging course empowers professionals to handle difficult conversations with ease to achieve professional success and improve workplace interactions. Through structured learning and interactive case studies we will explore:
- Why should you have that difficult conversation
- Reasons we avoid difficult conversations
- How to prepare for a difficult conversation
- How to handle a difficult conversation
- How to have the conversation without triggering a defensive response
- How to manage emotions; both yours and theirs
- What to do after the conversation
Who should attend?
Anyone who wants to develop skills to approach difficult conversations with confidence.
