Course Title:
Crucial Conversations (2 day program)
|
|
Course Description
|
When stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong, casual conversations often become crucial. And, wouldn't you know it -- the more crucial the conversation the less likely we are to handle it well. When we don't handle it well, every aspect of our lives can be affected. Volumes of research show that strong relationships, careers, organizations, and communities all depend on a critical skill -- the ability to talk candidly and respectfully about high-stakes, emotional, and controversial issues. This program will help you learn to master your crucial conversations to improve your organization, strengthen your relationships, and improve your overall health.
Note: This is not the same as the 1-day "Having the Tough Conversations" course.
