Do you ever find yourself leaving a conversation feeling stressed, unhappy, overwhelmed, or simply tired?

Any conversation that negatively affects our mood or productivity is considered a challenging conversation. 

Why does this matter?

Everything happens in conversation.

And every conversation is an opportunity to invest in relationship building. 

We work better and feel happier when we have strong working relationships.

Challenging conversations are a part of life.

When we improve the quality of our conversations, we boost effectiveness, productivity and well-being - and we see these results in our own work and in the way we work together as a team.

The more you can master the skills to make all of your conversations more productive and effective, the more energy you will have to do your best work - and live your best life.

Every challenging conversation comes with a high cost to:

  • our productivity
  • our emotional well-being
  • our client relationships

Learning the skills to master challenging conversations is key for any individual or organization interested in improving team performance and business outcomes.

In this online course, you'll learn to:

  • Master: using leading practices for structuring challenging conversations
  • Navigate: using techniques to minimize the negative emotional and physical effects of challenging conversations, and
  • Prevent: with 3 powerful ways you can invest in relationship-building to improve the quality of your conversations, work better and feel happier

We go behind-the-scenes of a challenging conversation to give you practical strategies to:

  • Manage strong emotions (your own & others) to keep the dialogue productive
  • Know your triggers - reduce your impulse to react (ineffectively) and respond instead
  • Listen and communicate more effectively - even the most challenging conversation is made easier when there is strong relationship behind it
  • De-escalate anger when tempers flare
  • Overcome stress and uncertainty caused by conflict
  • Recover, reset and invest in your resiliency after a challenging conversation

Plus, useful steps to address common workplace scenarios, including:

  • You made a mistake - 5 steps to fix it
  • You just can't agree
  • The other person is being aggressive

With access to:

  • 5 comprehensive recordings you can watch on-demand, on your own time (including accreditation information)
  • Downloadable resources you can use to transform how you work and live, including:
    • A self-assessment to help you identify what types of conversations are challenging for you 
    • A personal action plan
    • An exercise to anchor your new skill set into your mindset using empowering beliefs
