About the Session
Throughout our life and work we will inevitably be faced with having many challenging conversations. Rather than viewing these conversations as something we seek to escape, we can learn instead to embrace them for all the opportunity for growth and change they contain.
Together we explore how we can navigate difficult conversations with more courage and compassion to lead to better conversation outcomes and avenues for deeper connections to others.
In this workshop we will:
- Reflect on our current relationship and automatic response to facing difficult conversations.
- Consider how to alter our mindset towards conflict and challenging interactions with others to encourage more productive approaches.
- Explore foundational skills and conditions that are required to set up productive conversations such as empathy and active listening.
- Discover a framework for having courageous conversations.
- Practise having difficult conversations utilising the skills and framework explored in the session.
- Discuss and apply learnings across the different types of difficult conversations you may face at work.
