Navigating Difficult Conversations
Have you ever left a conversation and felt uneasy, wondering what the other person is really thinking or feeling, or telling yourself ‘I really messed that up’?
Have you avoided conversations because it felt too difficult, or you weren’t even sure where to start – conversations like giving feedback, dealing with conflict in a close relationship, or addressing issues like racism?
Sensitive conversations like these abound – in our workplace, with families and friends and in the community – and they take courage.
Imagine if you felt less stressed and more confident having these conversations, and what if they were a pathway to personal growth and better relationships?
In this program you will learn practical new ways to approach these important conversations with confidence, clarity and calm. You will deepen your understanding of the underlying causes of the fear – a disconnect between your sense-making process and the sense-making process of others. This disconnect is powered by interpretive survival stories we create and occurs at all levels of human systems.
Drawing on the field of adult development and grounded in science related to our sense-making process and the power of stories, this program gives you the knowledge, skills and tools to transform ‘difficult’ conversations into ‘learning’ conversations. You will use the gift of these conversations to create opportunities to build relationship and mutual connection and understanding.
We welcome you to come and learn with us and join our quest to deepen relationship, transform conflict, increase connection and create a better world.
Who should come?
Leaders, coaches, anyone who is familiar with the fear and awkwardness that comes with beginning – and continuing – difficult conversations.
