A practical workshop which will provide the framework for managing difficult conversations, help participants maintain presence and engagement during difficult conversations and how to achieve a positive outcome through influence, communication and managing one's own state in the process.
Many managers struggle with having to have difficult conversations with colleagues. First seek to understand your own contribution and reaction, then begin by reframing these conversations as opportunities to learn and grow. Maintain a positive mindset, seek to understand and approach the conversation with curiosity and you are more likely to achieve a positive and mutually beneficial outcome. When you start with empathy rather than judgement the whole dynamic changes.

Investing in employee development has proven to not only improve performance, but also to improve retention as employees expect and seek out employers who will provide personal and professional development.
Future Skills workshops are designed to stretch and grow skills AND attributes, recognising that everyone is on their own individual development journey. We use a range of approaches to respond to the various adult development stages that people operate at.
