Description
Why is it when the conversation is important we get it wrong? When stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong we miss the mark? We often try to force our perspective or not allow others to have a perspective or worse, stay silent.
This workshop will introduce powerful skills to help you speak up, directly and effectively when it matters most.
Whenever you’re not getting the results you want, it’s likely an important conversation either hasn’t happened or hasn’t been handled well.
