View event detailsManaging Difficult Conversations
A key area of managing performance is the ability to hold difficult conversations around performance. This involves giving effective feedback, identifying the root cause of the issue and agreeing a positive solution. This should lead to an effective outcome and enhanced performance, however the danger is that the discussion is avoided and then escalates into something that becomes more formal. This half day session considers the principles of performance coaching, developing a framework to manage the discussion, the skills to identify the issue and then culminates in the opportunity to practice in a ‘real’ situation. It is important that you give some thought to a difficult conversation around performance that you may have to face (see pre-work). The style will be interactive and practical with the focus on transferring the skills back into the workplace.
View event detailsAssertive Communication
Developing productive relationships with both colleagues and customers demands a considerable amount of effort and the use of effective communication skills. Being assertive means that firstly we need to understand what it means, and secondly know how to do it. This half day workshop examines the principles of assertiveness and assertive communication, with the opportunity to measure ourselves against the guidelines. Once this has been achieved we can then consider how to manage the potentially irrational behaviour of others and the challenges that this creates. The style of the workshop will be participative and informal and focus on practical skills that you can immediately use in your working environment.
