The Conversations You Can't Afford to Avoid

Conversations You Can't Afford to Avoid

Leadership often requires conversations we’d rather not have. Whether addressing performance, giving difficult feedback, resolving tension, or challenging a decision, avoiding the conversation rarely makes the issue disappear. Often, what makes these conversations difficult isn’t knowing what to say; it’s anticipating how the other person might respond.

In this webinar, we’ll explore why important conversations get avoided and how emotional intelligence can help leaders stay clear, curious, and engaged, even when the conversation gets uncomfortable.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognize the conversations that need to happen before unresolved issues affect performance, trust, and relationships.

• Understand what makes difficult conversations difficult and how emotions, assumptions, and fear of the other person’s response influence our approach.

• Use emotional intelligence to navigate tough conversations by managing your reactions, listening for understanding, and staying engaged when faced with pushback.

All registrants will receive a copy of the webinar recording after the session.
