High-Stakes Conversations

Let’s face it, there are just some conversations that you don’t want to have. There are some people you simply don’t want to talk to, but what happens when we don’t have these conversations?

High-Stakes Conversations take place every day, in every workplace and every home. You know those conversations where there are high stakes, real differences of opinion and strong emotions.

The difference between average and great workplace performance lies in how people handle those difficult conversations. At the heart of all workplace issues are conversations that are either not being handled or not being handled well.

Through having High-Stakes Conversations, you learn to see issues through the lens of others, make it safe to have dialogue on important issues, work more effectively as a committed team member, and problem-solve in ways that reduce barriers.

In this one day course, you will be better able to resolve disagreements, hold others accountable, make better decisions and take more committed actions.
