Difficult Conversations: A Framework for Dealing With Conflict

Conflict and the resulting difficult conversations are natural by-products of a healthy and productive workplace. That does not make them any easier to manage. Having productive, difficult conversations is a necessary skill in creating high performance. This session enables you to reflect on key information which helps you to consider how best to conduct difficult conversations – whether necessary in your role as a leader or important within your personal life.

About

Conflict and the resulting difficult conversations are natural by-products of a healthy and productive workplace. That does not make them any easier to manage. Having productive, difficult conversations is a necessary skill in creating high performance. This session enables you to reflect on key information which helps you to consider how best to conduct difficult conversations – whether necessary in your role as a leader or important within your personal life.

This is achieved by;

  • Undertaking personal awareness work, designed to help you reflect on core beliefs you hold (drivers) and understanding how these may differ from core beliefs of other people. 
  • Exploring behaviours that enable you to prevent yourself becoming “hooked” by the behaviour of others during difficult conversations. 
  • Reviewing the core knowledge needed for the complex coaching skill of “challenge”. 
  • Working in zoom break out sessions with a partner, thinking through how to approach having a real (difficult) conversation you ideally should have and then actually practicing having this conversation. 

Given this, please come to the session prepared to share with a colleague the details of a difficult conversation that needs to take place soon. Alternatively come prepared to share details of a difficult conversation you had in the past, which didn’t go as well as you hoped. (Your partner can help you reflect on what you could have done differently to affect a more desired outcome).
