Managing Difficult Employee Conversations
The ability to handle crucial and difficult conversations effectively, where one is required to be mindful of one’s thoughts, emotions, impulses, words, voice, and facial expressions is crucial for Managers and Leaders. The lack of attention to one’s communication during important conversations can turn out to be a costly mistake.

- What makes difficult conversations “difficult” for you.
- Emotions, Attitudes and Mindsets before during and after holding difficult conversations.

- Understand intent and focus of the conversation for successful win win outcomes.
- Learn about active listening.
- Paraphrase and clarify what was heard.
Communication can become a challenge and an emotionally charged event during performance evaluations, in times of crisis, change in the direction of the project, etc.
Empower professionals to be in control of a difficult conversation at all stages of it so that they can achieve the desired outcome.
This course is suitable for anyone who is facing a difficult conversation and would like to develop the knowledge and skills to tackle it confidently and effectively.
