In today’s dynamic work environment, addressing difficult issues with confidence, empathy, and clarity is essential for fostering a positive team culture and driving performance. Leaders will learn to approach sensitive conversations with compassion, openness, and effectiveness through role-playing scenarios, group discussions, and reflective exercises. Participants will leave with actionable insights they can immediately apply within their teams.

  • Learn and practice key communication techniques that encourage open, honest dialogue and promote mutual understanding among team members.
  • Build emotional intelligence skills to manage better reactions, foster empathy, and strengthen relationships during challenging conversations.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away with practical and effective communication techniques and feel better equipped to handle difficult conversations with poise.
