Explore how to make ‘difficult conversations’ easier… for you and the business managers.
How do you engage with someone who is not performing… who lacks motivation… whose attitude and behaviour is no longer acceptable?
One of the most challenging conversations any manager/leader can have… is to give a person feedback when things are ‘not good’.
In this interactive session, we will explore the preparation and structure for such a conversation… and address how to deal with defensive behaviours.
You will discover a series of models, tools and tips that Joe has modelled, developed and shared with leaders and managers across hundreds of businesses.
Come along and explore the CLEAR Conversation Model…with plenty of ‘what-ifs’ and ‘how do you…’!
