We Have to Talk: 10 Tips for Tackling Difficult Conversations at Work 

October 1, 2024 at 12:00-1:00 PM  REGISTER HERE

When we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction. This is true at all levels of an organization. Having difficult conversations on any topic is not fun. It is normal to feel uncomfortable and avoid talking altogether. This workshop will teach you how to successfully navigate difficult conversations resulting in better outcomes for you and your colleagues.

Join us for a discussion of how culture shapes our expectations, beliefs, and behaviors in the realm of conflict. Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on how conflict is navigated within professional environments. Discover strategies to ensure accurate understanding of employee communications and the role of culture in shaping conflict dynamics in the workplace.
