Crucial Conversations: Leading the Conversations That Matter Most
Every leader faces conversations they'd rather avoid: providing difficult feedback, navigating conflict, addressing performance concerns, or communicating through change. The difference between high-performing teams and struggling teams often comes down to how these conversations are handled.
In this interactive workshop, participants will learn practical strategies to approach challenging conversations with confidence, reduce defensiveness, build trust, and create better outcomes for everyone involved. Rather than avoiding difficult discussions, leaders will leave with a framework they can immediately apply to communicate with clarity, empathy, and courage.
Participants will leave with:
- A framework for preparing for high-stakes conversations
- Techniques to manage emotions while staying focused on the desired outcome
- Strategies for creating psychological safety during difficult discussions
- Practical tools they can use immediately with their teams or anyone
Join Dr. Leighann Rechtin and your Chamber St. Matthews team for a lunch and learn that will leave you inspired and ready to tackle the challenge.
