Tackling Tough Talks -- Working with EI

presented by BILL CROPPER – The Change Forum

Nov 29 Tackling Tough Talks – difficult discussions fast-track

…tools to cope more constructively with troublesome topics

“A great day with useful tools. Even the pre-read was of value.” Michael M, TMR

We all have to navigate difficult team moments (DTMs) from time to time. People ‘cross lines’, overstep boundaries, don’t do what they agreed to, or disagree over priorities or approaches. How we deal with DTMs makes all the difference. Yet how often do we fumble them? Raise issues or say things in the wrong way or get hijacked by emotions? Things like these trip us up, making difficult moments more difficult.

That’s where Tackling Tough Talks comes in. A fast-track of our long-running Dealing with Difficult Discussions clinic, in 1 very full day we show you how to take the heat out of hard talks with the help of our unique 7-stage model backed-up by a set of easy-to-use tools that make a real difference when talks get tense and feelings get fractious.

Nov 30 Working with Emotional Intelligence

…5 SMART EI Practices for building better relationships at work

“Helped me recognise how my feelings affect my work relationships and how I can better deal with my emotions and work relationships.” Bronwyn M, Dept of Communities

Emotions help us connect with others and work well together. But disruptive ones also detract from focus, flow, job satisfaction and can turn teams toxic.

Learning to manage our emotions may be the most significant thing we can do to build more balanced and productive workplaces. Nowhere is Emotional Intelligence more called for than in dealing with difficult team moments.

Working with Emotional Intelligence is a lively, interactive 1-day seminar designed to show staff what EI is, why it matters for emotional self-management, constructive relationships and being a good team player. You’ll track your emotional habits to see what you might need to work on and explore 5 SMART EI practices that can help you get in touch with your feelings, improve emotional self-control, cope better with stress and get along better with others at work and elsewhere. [ Outline ]

“EI is something we all need – should be a compulsory course for workplaces” Tracey C, RRC
