A crucial conversation is any conversation where the stakes are high, opinions differ, and emotions run strong. Such conversations tend to happen in the workplace a lot! There may be times when there are conflicting opinions between colleagues, which can lead to indecisiveness, resentment, and ultimately a waste of time and poor productivity. When you are not getting the results that you want, it is likely that an important conversation has either not happened or has not been handled well.
Crucial Conversations for Mastering Dialogue is a soft skills training programme which imparts skills for creating alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue around high-stakes, emotional or risky topics at all levels of your organisation. By learning how to speak and be heard (and encouraging others to do the same), you will be able to bring the best ideas to the surface and improve your decision-making with the full support of the key stakeholders.
