however, conversational anxiety affects more than 50% of us – position, level
and background aside! This course can also be of use to leaders who want to coach their
staff to encourage conversational confidence and contribution ň Read about What to do when your conversational

µ Positive Performance Conversations JULY 20 (Brisbane June 10, Sunshine Lots of us aren’t
that crash-hot when it comes to conducting conversations with difficult
performers. We say things that get staff off-side by putting things in
negative ways. They get defensive and either retreat or retaliate.
This course works on a simple principle: focus on the positives
you want to see, not the negatives you don’t. It gives you a
step-by-step tour of carefully-crafted footings, frameworks and formulas to
deal more competently and comfortably with difficult performers and make hard
performance conversations easier. You’ll learn how to: ·
Tackle tough performance conversations in
more positive ways ·
Structure conversations better and start
them more firmly and cleanly ·
Deliver difficult feedback that is more
‘sayable’ and ‘hearable’ ·
Stay Focused – keep it on track, clear, frank and fact-based ·
Coach to find solutions – get commitment to
goals and actions “Thought provoking and practical.
As supervisor of a large team, I was looking for simple tools to assist me to
have difficult performance conversations. This program demonstrated real steps
that lead towards building performance. Good visual examples, clear
explanations, and tool-practice activities all helped my learning. Thank you
Bill, for delivering a tangible, engaging program that was timely, relevant
and extremely practical.” Trish K University of
