Join hthis insightful and practical webinar. Understand the importance of effective communication and how it can significantly impact project success.

However, sometimes, we find ourselves faced with challenging conversations that require finesse and skill to handle. This talk, we will delve into the art of engaging in difficult discussions while also safeguarding our professional integrity.

Throughout the project lifecycle, project leaders often encounter situations where they must initiate or participate in tough conversations with various stakeholders, customers, team members, and other involved parties.

These conversations may range from addressing conflicts and disputes to becoming the messenger of undesirable news that can expose us to potential backlash.

On the other hand, some project leaders may intentionally introduce a level of non-hostile positive conflict to encourage innovative thinking and creativity within the project.

In this engaging session will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies to empower project leaders to navigate such challenging conversations effectively.

Marion will share practical tips on how to approach these situations with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the project and our colleagues.

This session will continue the conversation on how to structure a difficult conversation through communication, environment, relationships and then make a framework to launch a productive conversation that leads to action.

In the 1st part of this webinar, Dana Bernstein (LinkedIn profile)  explored IF a conversation is needed, how to speak from a position of power, and delineate the types of conversations so you can better manage your emotions.  We recommend listening to Dana’s Conflict Resolution webinar so you have a foundation before launching into this discussion.

  • You learned how to figure out why some things bother you, but roll off others’ backs
  • You learned to be better able to take control of the story you created around the “what happened” so you can actively manage outcomes
  • You learned to understand the types of conversations there are. By breaking it into an algorithm, you can better manage the pieces

Part 2 Learning outcomes:

  • You will learn how to use communication to more effective deliver your message where the person receiving the message does not go into a defensive posture
  • You will learn to create an environment where people feel safe to say anything – which leads the issue you are discussing from a conversation to an action
  • You will learn that relationships get stronger after hard conversations IF you land them correctly
  • You’ll learn a starting point to structure the conversation so it is goal-oriented
