Foolproof Formula for Having Uncomfortable Conversations
Presented by: Aleta Norris

Many people struggle with communication in the workplace. This is especially true when faced with others’ poor performance or behavior, differences of opinion and uncomfortable emotions. In fact, the most common response to a difficult situation is to avoid it; to hope it will resolve itself. Fool-Proof Formula for Having Uncomfortable Conversations addresses this struggle. In this session, Aleta Norris, partner at Living As A Leader, will discuss the natural and predictable human tendencies to default to avoidance or to engage in disrespectful communication because of the pressure and stress of the situation. These tendencies can be replaced with a step-by-step process.

At the end of the session attendees will be equipped with:

  •         Six steps to navigate through an uncomfortable conversation
  •          A mindset that honors all parties involved
  •         The skills to minimize emotion in the conversation
  •  A greater likelihood to arrive at a positive outcome:
    •                    Commitment to high productivity
    •                      Heightened accountability
    •                      Preservation of the relationship
