Save the date for another great BWIB Event!
Which of the following styles would typify how you generally handle difficult conversations?
“I scare myself by imagining that something terrible will happen so I AVOID THEM.”
“I tend to just GO IN THERE AND GET THEM OVER WITH…and sometimes the outcomes are not so pretty.”
“I find that there are two sides to every story and if I open the door for sharing and listening, I generally get good outcomes.”
Regardless of your history and success at having difficult conversations, Carolyn Rowe of Connections Leadership has results to prove that with focus and practice you can build your integrity and success in life by having “healthy” difficult conversations that she defines as those that are honest, meaningful, respectful and intentional and that get the desired results.
In this session, Carolyn will guide you to have more effective difficult conversations by considering...
- Your HEART… to understand the importance of the conversation to the relationship
- Your HEAD…to learn conversational skills that will help you be successful
- AND A LITTLE HUMOR to overcome “the monsters in your mind” that take over as you consider facing up to difficult and important situations.
