Mastering Dialogue for Crucial Conversations

When was the last time that you looked forward to having a difficult conversation? Most of us run from confrontation and as a consequence, we carry the weight from not getting the results we and our organization want, unresolved conflict and sub-par relationships.

1. 1. You don’t feel safe. You may feel that the difficult conversation you need to have will place you in a vulnerable position.
   2. You fear loss. You may feel that by having that difficult conversation you will risk being screamed at or rejected.
   3. You aren’t comfortable with negative emotions. Human beings don’t like discomfort, and most of us have not been taught the value of negative emotions, which make us uncomfortable.

Join us for our guided bi–weekly learning circle of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High (McGraw-Hill 2021) that can go a long way to deepening your understanding of ways to step up to and handle the crucial conversations you face.
