How to Get What You Want in Difficult Conversations
If you have occasional challenging conversations—with investors, employees, boss, partners—and you want the outcome to be more successful, this session will help you attain a desirable result more often. At Psychological Associates, we have studied and coached people through thousands of difficult workplace dialogs. Often they don’t get off to a strong start, and your efforts are derailed from the beginning. We’ll teach you a successful format for navigating challenging one on one interactions. You’ll discover 4 key elements your opening must have to set things up for success. If you are like most businesspeople, one of these you do well. One you do so-so. And two you neglect entirely. You’ll come away with a new perspective on challenging conversations, and how to get them off to a more effective start to attain your desired outcome.
