Tough Conversations: Skills for Staying Sane and Effective -
We all work with them. They're aggressive, critical or bull-headed. They say one thing and then do another. They dominate meetings and spread gossip, then slip through your fingers when you try to confront them. They frustrate and divert energy from important work. These people make life difficult. You've tried many ways to get them to change, but nothing seems to work - projects stall, and demoralization ripples through teams, departments and even whole organizations. Why are they this way? How can we collaborate with people who keep driving us over the edge?

This presentation explains a practical, structured process - a roadmap of new perspectives and skills for transforming difficult conversations into powerful, productive collaborations. It shifts from debate to inquiry, from defending ourselves and our positions to exploring the advantages of both party's ideas. Participants will learn a three-step model for collaborative conversations.
