How to overcome the fear of difficult conversations

Do you shudder at the thought of sitting down for a difficult conversation?

Whether you are on the giving or receiving end, difficult conversations can bring up all sorts of big emotions which is often what gets in the way of these conversations being effective.

Knowing the elements that contribute to a successful outcome is alot of the problem. Handling yourself in these pressure points takes a particular set of skills and these skills need to be taught.

People underestimate the importance of elements like environment, timing and who should actually speak more. Without this knowledge, most people either spend a whole lot of energy avoiding these moments or approach them with bravado and the outcome isn't always favourable.

I got you. For 26 years I've been having and teaching others how to have difficult conversations. Here is your chance to learn this essential work and life skill.
