Handling Difficult Conversations

Have you ever been in a situation at work where it felt like you were banging your head against a brick wall? Ever been trapped in a negotiation which feels like it will never end?

Handling Difficult Conversations is a practical one-day workshop that will help you find effective, dynamic resolutions to workplace conflict with staff, colleagues, customers and stakeholders such as funders and trustees. You’ll leave the day with a toolkit for working through individual conflict and a framework for managing difficult conversations.

You should come on Handling Difficult Conversations if:

• You want clear tools and strategies to manage difficult people more successfully
• You want to achieve better results in negotiations
• You want to get more out of your partnerships with stakeholders
• You want to improve the way you and/or your organisation manages performance
• You want to create culture of mutual understanding
