“Navigating Crucial Conversations” Panel

Thursday, July 11, 2024 | 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM

We all dread them, those tough, back burner, “do I really have to” conversations. In the work world we know they HAVE to take place.  How is it some of us can face these conversations head on, while others tend to procrastinate, delay, question, or even make excuses for not having them.  Join us in learning to navigate these conversations through open dialogue, mastering your emotions and reaching mutual understanding.
Topics:
        • Define/identify crucial conversation
        • Being clear in your topic
        • Speaking with your heart
        • The stories we tell ourselves
        • Creating a safe zone
