NEW 2023 Virtual Seminar – How to Have Crucial Conversations
Program Highlights
Courageous Conversations: Transfer Fear of Conflict into Curious Communication
Have you ever avoided a tough conversation because you don’t like conflict? Congratulations, you are among friends. Most people don’t jump out of bed in the morning thinking, “I hope I get into some conflict today!” Yet, many leaders avoid tough conversations for multiple reasons, generally boiling down to fear. Fear of the person’s reaction, hurting feelings, being taken advantage of, or the desire to be liked can get in the way of curious communication.
If you could release that fear and build your courage muscles, would you be willing to learn new skills and commit to taking new action? If yes, join Karen Butcher, communication coach and trainer, for this challenging session on Courageous Conversations. During this virtual seminar, participants will learn to:
- Engage in the art of self-evaluation
- Discover the impact of ego on leadership effectiveness
- Replace fear with curiosity and courage
- Embrace curiosity, drop judgement, and remain neutral
- Practice tough conversations
- Identify tools and resources
Who Should Attend
All employees who want to create a positive work environment and resolve interpersonal conflict.
