THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
You know the conversation needs to happen. So what’s holding you back?
You know a conversation needs to happen, but you worry about saying the wrong thing, upsetting the relationship, or making the situation worse.
Waiting may feel safer, but the issue often grows. You can prepare to address it while protecting trust and reinforcing accountability.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
A practical space to prepare, practice, and take action.
The Leadership Conversation Lab is a practical, two-week small-group coaching experience for managers who know they need to address a challenging workplace conversation but are unsure how to begin. Whether the issue involves performance, accountability, missed expectations, or a strained relationship, the program helps you prepare for the conversation you have been putting off, with greater clarity, emotional awareness, and confidence.
Across two interactive 90-minute sessions, you will work on a real situation, develop your message, practice how to listen and respond, and leave with a conversation plan you can put into action. Rather than relying on a generic script, you will learn a repeatable approach to handling challenging conversations while protecting trust and reinforcing accountability.
