Challenging conversations offer a gateway to progress, yet too many of us dodge or deflect these discussions, in part, because we've not been trained on the tools and approaches essential for navigating these important situations.
If you deal with people in any capacity–whether you're a manager, an executive, an educator, in the government sector or you're just starting out in your career, you can probably relate:
Everything important that happens in organizations, from job interviews to leading change, proposing new investments, delivering performance feedback and so on, is an outcome of one or more challenging conversations. But, if they're so powerful, why do most of us struggle to have those difficult conversations?
Sure, there are books, blogs and trainings about communication that will give you abstract concepts and frameworks that only fit into predictable scenerios. But, as we all know, humans are unpredictable and no two scenerios are quite the same.
What if, you were instead taught universal communication skills that you could apply and use to navigate any scenerio you find youself in, whether it's giving feedback, asking for a raise or addressing difficult people?
I have been an executive and emerging leadership coach for a long time, and the #1 issue that I hear from my clients stems from communication.
If you're like 99% of professionals and executives, you probably feel frustrated that your communication skills and consequent outcomes are not what you want them to be.
Well, I'm here to change that! I want to show you how you can amp up your communication skills to engage, empathize, ask, present, and finally work with people to design solutions, no matter the situation.
I've boiled down the very best of my years of expertise into a simple, step by step training.
