The fact is difficult conversations are unavoidable in life and in business. Of all the situations we face in team leadership, holding a challenging conversation with a team member may be the most uncomfortable. And yet, when handled effectively, these moments of truth can deliver performance improvements, deepen the relationship, and become a growth experience for both coach and coachee.

Our Difficult Conversations at Work program will help you harness the positive aspects of conflict while keeping your emotions under control. The program provides a practical roadmap for how to have difficult conversations at work, as well as proven strategies for managing your emotions and maintaining equilibrium when things get heated.
