Confident Conversations
The ability to manage difficult conversations is one of the cornerstones of effective management and leadership. On this course, delegates will learn how to hold difficult conversations, nip issues in the bud and give feedback to their team concerning performance and absence. Delegates will also learn how to prevent workplace conflicts escalating and how to communicate with taciturn employees and team members exhibiting challenging behaviour. The course is designed and delivered by experts. Delegates develop an awareness of the block and barriers to effective communication and how to overcome them. Through active participation and experiential learning delegates learn how to secure sustainable and lasting outcomes at times of change, crisis or conflict.
