Hard conversations are a part of life. No one wants to be the bearer of bad news and bruise a relationship in the process. We are wired to get along with other people, and will often go to great lengths to avoid having a difficult conversation… But at what cost?

As leaders, managers and collaborators in the workplace, we need to have difficult conversations, whether we like it or not. From sharing uncomfortable, unpopular or sensitive messages, to dealing with difficult behaviours or personal issues, our ability to lean into hard conversations ultimately affects our leadership impact.

It’s time to understand what gets in the way of our ability to say what needs to be said, in the way we want to say it. We need to discover a simple formula for approaching difficult conversations that builds trust, strengthens relationships and creates a common truth.

We’ll explore how to stop avoiding the hard conversations, and reveal how to turn difficult, awkward and uncomfortable conversations into meaningful, measured and impactful exchanges.
