Navigating Difficult Conversations

Practical tools to master the conversations that define workplace culture and drive success.


"That knot in your stomach? It's the dread of another difficult conversation. But what if those talks could strengthen your team?"

Are there conversations in your business that are left unsaid?

Are your team tiptoeing around issues instead of addressing them? 

Are you putting off a difficult discussion because you don't want a confrontational showdown?

If you don't talk it out, you'll probably act it out.

Managing  Performance

"That knot in your stomach? It's the dread of another difficult conversation. But what if those talks could strengthen your team?"

What would you do if one of your talented project managers consistently missed deadlines? If his team's morale was plummeting, and frustration was palpable. Would you keep ignoring the issue? Instead of a confrontational showdown, you might schedule a private meeting. Start by listening intently and discovering that your manager was overwhelmed with personal problems impacting his work. Instead of reprimanding, try brainstormed solutions: flexible deadlines, delegated tasks, and access to company resources, then scheduled weekly check-ins. Watch as their performance improves dramatically and the team's productivity soared. What started as a difficult conversation catalysed growth and stronger team cohesion.
