What’s a Difficult Discussion for you? What do you do when contention, dissension or disruptive behaviour are getting out of hand? Leaders are expected to be able to pour oil on troubled waters – whatever the nature of that might be… But how many of us can really accomplish this with ease? From what we hear, most of us feel challenged by these sorts of situations and often say we wish we’d been able to handle them better.   

“I wanted to increase my skill levels in dealing with difficult discussions both at work and personally and this was a very good, very informative workshop with some very good and useful tips. Bill presented the topic very well and kept everyone engaged and focused.”

Helen M., Mackay Hospital and Health Service

“Tackling TOUGH TALKS” shows you ways to take the heat out of hard talks with the help of a unique 7-stage model and set of easy-to-use conversation tools that can make a real difference to every challenging situation you face.

Designed for those keen to get better at handling tough conversational moments but finding it difficult to attend our full 2-day Dealing with Difficult Discussions program, this 1-day fast-track clinic paces you through practical, step-by-step actions you can take to prepare yourself better to tackle those conversations you find most contentious, confronting or conflict-filled.

“The seminar worked for me and was really good for awareness-raising and interesting to think about what you are like in a Difficult Discussion and analyse this. Now I understand my own reaction to verbal attacks a lot better. Great work Bill - and your experience made it even better!” Bergita S. QUT
