Description

Difficult conversations such as those dealing with performance issues, behavioural concerns, and other sensitive topics are vital to leadership. Yet, they are often delayed or avoided due to fear of conflict, emotional discomfort, or uncertainty about how to proceed.

Giving corrective feedback is critical to the success of any group of professionals. It has important impacts on the giver, receiver, and the organization’s ultimate success. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to provide constructive feedback and thus it is sometimes avoided.

This course helps leaders break that avoidance cycle. Moreover, this course will help ensure that the way the feedback is delivered maximizes the possibility of a positive outcome. Participants learn how to prepare, structure, and lead conversations like these with clarity, composure, and empathy. This transforms uncomfortable conversations into a constructive dialogue that supports accountability and growth at the individual, team and organizational levels.
