Difficult conversations are often avoided out of fear how the other person will react, even if our intentions are good.
This webinar will help you find out how to skilfully have difficult conversations effectively and courageously to drive your diversity of thinking, innovation and creativity to deliver the best research outcomes.
Find out why we find it difficult to have courageous conversations, how to become more comfortable and encourage healthy conflict, and offer a framework for giving great feedback.
You will learn how:
- courageous conversations are critical to effective working relationships
- healthy conflict is critical to reaching best outcomes
- a feedback culture can be encouraged by asking for, and giving, great feedback through effective preparation and practice
Webinar hosts
The webinar will be presented by Jo Clare and Mark Blanchard, Senior Consultants from Oakridge, who have extensive experience working with organisations, teams and leaders through behavioural and cultural change.
