Manage your emotions during difficult conversations
what is this topic about?
The single most important skill for a leader is communication. If it is done incorrectly, not
enough, or even avoided, it can create unnecessary conflicts, stagnation, a lack of employee engagement, and result in a drop in company performance. One of the main reasons why leaders handle difficult communications poorly or avoid them is that they don’t know how to manage their own discomfort and emotions during these conversations.

After this training, participants will have:
A clear goal to improve their communication during difficult conversations and action steps to implement the changes in day-to-day operations, and an accountability system to keep them on track.
An understanding and techniques on how to regulate their emotions and discomfort during difficult conversations, as well as the confidence to address these conversations and see them as a path to growth instead of avoiding them.
