Challenging Conversations
Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of a witness – Margaret Millar
Have you ever had to have a tough conversation with someone, but didn’t quite know how to approach it? Would you like some strategies for dealing with those conversations that become emotionally charged or heated? Whether it’s a performance review, a difficult negotiation, or a disagreement with a colleague, challenging conversations can be some of the most stressful and uncomfortable situations in the workplace.
