Handing Difficult Conversations with Tact
Wednesday March 3rd 9:30am to 12:30
With Chris Pohlkamp
Often we are in situations where we feel uncomfortable; we don’t know how to assertively get control of the situation so we back off. When we get in these situations we can lose our self esteem and comfort with the people we need to speak to. This program helps us understand how to speak to people in this type of situation.
You will:
- Understand what gets in the way of effective communication
- Develop techniques to deal with confrontations and conflicts
- Learn to speak in an assertive manner
- Get the message across without harming relationships
