SUMMARY:Navigating Challenging Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Learn to define and communicate successful outcomes in your difficult conversations while preparing to convey your message thoughtfully and respectfully. You will also learn how to manage an array of emotional responses with tact and sensitivity\, and to end a challenging conversation that sets the stage for future collaboration. When it comes to conflict\, the 80-20 rule holds true\; challenging conversations represent the minority of our workplace interactions while consuming a vast amount of our mental energy. Yet\, if we take the time to prepare in a structured and thoughtful way\, and practice our skills before the fact\, we can greatly reduce our anxiety while increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome to even our most difficult conversations.
