Effective Communication Tools

We are excited to deliver this workshop in person once again.  While there are many conveniences of online delivery, these two days are designed to provide the optimal participant learning experience through dynamic delivery and engaging content in person.

For most of us, the workplace and our lives in general include many social interactions (and possible interactions) that have the potential to create significant anxiety and/or blow up and undermine desired outcomes (e.g., addressing performance problems, dealing with the failure of others to deliver on their promises, explaining why you can’t follow through on a promise of your own).

Meanwhile, human beings are generally highly conflict avoidant. The deep-seated desire to avoid anxiety-producing situations often leads to deep managerial and governance dysfunctions: avoiding conversations that should not be avoided and botching conversations that you cannot afford to botch.

This interactive session is designed to offer practical tools, approaches and frameworks for effectively handling those difficult conversations and reducing the anxiety associated with them in the process. It will draw on research related to the psychology of negotiations, perspective-taking, and the self.
