Managing Difficult Conversations

Managing Difficult Conversations to Achieve Successful Outcomes

KW Inner Strength offers online and face-to-face training solutions to help you tackle the difficult conversations in your business to manage performance, behaviour and attendance effectively.

 

Employers and Line Managers, are you:

  • struggling to be assertive and find the right language in the moment of a difficult conversation?
  • reluctant to tackle performance, behaviour and attendance issues because you suspect the conversations will escalate and don’t feel confident to manage those behaviours effectively?
  • avoiding the management of issues which have become embedded and normalised in your day-to-day work practices?
  • intimidated by key individuals who don’t respond well to criticism?
  • overwhelmed by the number of difficult conversations you need to have, to develop a more positive culture which supports the strength and resilience of your business?

If so, KW Inner Strength has a solution for you.

 

While it can be tempting to avoid those conversations, nothing will change if you don’t address the performance, behaviour and attendance issues in your business assertively and effectively. Your high-performers will potentially dis-engage and leave your organisation as they become frustrated by your lack of action.  That leaves you with lower performing staff who don’t think there’s a problem and that can effect the strength, resilience and future success of your business.

 

 

KW Inner Strength Online Training Programme

Managing Difficult Conversations to Achieve Successful Outcomes

 

Our online training programme can help you to develop a more confident and proactive leadership style. You’ll manage your team assertively and effectively, recognise great performance and support areas for improvement to build an engaged and motivated team.

As your team notice the change in your management style, they’ll be more likely to come to you proactively to raise issues. That can make your day feel more productive and will reduce the number of difficult conversations you’ll need to have in the future.

With twelve videos (approx. three hours running time) and five presentations, you can work through the online programme at your own pace, to build your confidence to tackle the difficult conversations in your business assertively and effectively.

  • The right environment for effective listening
  • Managing the conversation
  • Assertive and effective communication
  • Managing escalating behaviours
  • Defining expectations for change
