Courageous conversations 
Duration: Approx. 75 min
Sometimes in our professional relationships with colleagues and parents we need to have conversations that are a bit tricky. We may find it challenging to pluck up the courage to raise difficult issues that we fear may result in adverse reactions or defensive responses from others.

This webinar will introduce some of the key principles to keep in mind when having challenging conversations and share some skills that you can practice that will increase the chances of successful outcomes.

In this webinar we have:

  • Discussed why some conversations are hard
  • Explored common mistakes people make in difficult conversations and what to do instead
  • Explained and role modelled key skills to maximise your chances of having a productive conversation
  • Shared how to prepare yourself for interactions you think may be challenging
