How do you approach your “crucial conversations”? Do you skip asking tough questions to avoid challenging responses? Do you have trouble being direct when you need to say “no” to a manager’s request? Do you hesitate advising a client that their resolution to an issue may require more than training?

Have you found it difficult to be direct in conversations such as:

  • Letting a client know that requirements are out of scope
  • Telling a manager deadlines and expectations are unreasonable
  • Informing a stakeholder that a project deadline is at risk
  • Coaching an underperforming employee

Crucial Conversations teaches you how to speak and be heard (and encourage others to do the same), in order to surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, and then act on decisions with unity and commitment.

Develop skills that can help you improve how you communicate during:

  • The training needs assessment process
  • Stakeholder meetings
  • Project team meetings
  • Performance improvement discussions
Attend this 2-day workshop to learn how to create alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue across all levels of an organization.

Crucial Conversations teaches participants how to:

  • Speak persuasively, not abrasively
  • Foster teamwork and better decision making
  • Build acceptance rather than resistance
  • Resolve individual and group disagreements

All participants will receive:

  • Crucial Conversations Participant
  • Toolkit (157-page training workbook)
  • Cue cards and model card
  • A copy of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High, 2nd edition
  • Crucial Conversations Audio Companion
  • A course completion certificate
  • Post-training participant website: videos, exercises, assessments, additional reading, and more (ChangeAnything.com)
