Handle difficult conversations respectfully and professionally

Whether sharing bad news with someone, providing corrective action or talking with a colleague about an uncomfortable issue, difficult conversations are typically stressful and often take a large mental and emotional toll. Many people avoid difficult conversations for these reasons, or find themselves ill prepared when they must have them. Yet, the ability to handle difficult conversations respectfully and professionally is one of the most important skills for success in the workplace. This webinar will review the key elements for managing difficult conversations.

This webinar will be facilitated by Christina Reimer.
