The training course will look at the fundamentals of a strengths-based approach to difficult conversations, and how to turn potential difficult conversations into opportunities for more productive and positive relationships in the workplace.
This will be a highly engaging and interactive course, using a range of learning activities – presentation, demonstration, pair and group work, discussion and skills practice with feedback. Alasdair uses a group coaching approach, to help make the theory more vivid and meaningful.
Morning:
- Values-based conversations – Empathy, positive regard, authenticity, and curiosity
- The Drama Triangle and the cycle of behaviour change as tools to help make sense of difficult behaviours
- Building self-awareness to be able to regulate ourselves under pressure
Afternoon:
- Using examples of actual situations encountered or those we fear we may encounter; we will see demonstrations of specific techniques in action and have opportunities to practise these in a safe learning environment
- Using our learning diaries, we will plan how we will use these strategies and techniques in the months ahead as part of embedding the learning
Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone who wishes to improve how they have complex or sensitive conversations, whatever their role or position in the organisation.
