Crucial Conversations

Course Type: In-Company | Course Category: Communications

Course Introduction

Learning and deepening your ability to motivate, persuade and inspire

What's it about?

Every conversation involves starting, sustaining or ending relationships. Words spoken can inspire, encourage or harm others. Complex, and often difficult, situations regularly arise in the workplace. Those who manage or lead need to know how to communicate instructions efficiently and deliver criticism constructively to ensure as little disruption and conflict as possible. This workshop can be delivered at an intermediate level – where participants learn to communicate more confidently and with more control – or at an advanced level – where participants master new skills to communicate in extreme situations.

Who should attend?

This workshop is relevant to anyone in a management or leadership position, particularly those initiating dialogue in a complex or sensitive situation; continuing a complex or sensitive conversation; or needing to feel empowered and confident at work.
