About this Event

Up Next: Managing Difficult Conversations

Join us in person for an interactive session which is really called Having the Right Conversations. Difficult conversations are often the ones we dread most early in a career; giving honest feedback, owning a mistake, or addressing behaviour that doesn't sit right with our values. So, we put them off, and watch the problem quietly get worse. This practical, hands-on session offers simple, repeatable frameworks for preparing for and holding these conversations with confidence, along with the chance to practise on real scenarios in a low-stakes setting.

By the end, you will be able to:

>> Recognise the conversation they're avoiding, and why avoiding it costs more than having it

>> Use a clear framework to prepare and structure a difficult conversation

>> Open a hard topic calmly, without defensiveness or tension

>> Stay steady when nerves or emotions kick in

The goal isn't to make these conversations comfortable, it's to remove some of the fear and avoidance and build the confidence to have the right conversation at the right time. It's a skill that compounds for the rest of your career.

Post the session we will also have time for networking, refreshments, and pizza too.
