Research has shown the one of the least-developed skills in the workplace is an ability to have uncomfortable or difficult conversations. Emerging leaders seeking to develop a functioning team will need to have difficult conversations. In fact, everyone, at times needs to have conversations they would rather avoid. The outcomes of these conversations have a lot to do with how we approach them. During this session participants will learn a framework to structure their conversation.
