LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION ESSENTIALS: NAVIGATING TRUST, CONFLICT, AND FEEDBACK

 

Being a successful leader requires having conversations that are difficult, not to mention important, awkward, tricky, meaningful, and powerful. This program will provide you with proven strategies to excel at the top three communication challenges leaders face every day. Learn how to:

  • Build a culture of trust to boost productivity, collaboration, retention, and job satisfaction
  • Navigate conflict and tricky conversations effectively
  • Deliver challenging feedback with confidence, candor and grace

Deborah gives leaders simple, direct ways to see conflict and resistance as opportunities for communication and growth. Participants will develop the skills required to prepare for and have difficult conversations, manage different perspectives, identify and reduce resistance, and create shared solutions with greater confidence and speed.
