Handling
Challenging Discussions
How to turn a problematic
conversation into an effective dialogue
Duration of the course: One day
Course Introduction
The workplace is a complicate place; it is impossible to live a
life without discussions, confrontation and sometimes unwanted
conflicts. For various reasons very often, discussions and
confrontation may turn to be very challenging. The way you
communicate is the primary determinant of whether the person
you are interacting with will listen and think about what you
say, be indifferent to it, or fight against it. A lot of
conflicts in the workplace can be eliminated through the use of
specific language techniques that encourage working together
rather than creating ugly confrontation. Often the people we
label difficult or problematic, including ourselves, just don’t
know any better; we may not know how to act differently, or how
to deal with a specific situation that is causing us discomfort.
In this workshop we aim to equip you with enough learning and
practical tools which will help you to prevent or face
challenging discussions with confidence and emotional balance.
Furthermore, after the course, you will also be able to
contribute in a very effective way to healthier and fulfilling
relationships, both at work and at home.
