“Difficult conversations and how to make them easier”

 

The more senior a leader is, the more important it is for her to be able to have difficult conversations. In a recent, informal survey of 60 partners and in-house general counsel in Hong Kong, the issue of difficult conversations was classified as one of the top three day-to-day challenges experienced.

 

This workshop will help you understand:

  • Personal factors that undermine our efforts to have difficult conversations

  • What to do and what NOT to do

  • Four simple, practical steps to make your next difficult conversation easier

 

Come to this session ready for an interactive discussion where you will be invited to share experiences in a safe and confidential environment. In order to make this workshop as practical as possible, please come having already identified one or two current real-life conversations about which you are concerned, worried or otherwise challenged.
