Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: Engaging in Difficult Dialogues in the Workplace
Denver, CO | December 11, 2024 | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm MT
Engaging in difficult conversations is a defining leadership skill – gain confidence for times when it matters most.
Overview
Feelings of defensiveness and discomfort are common when engaging in difficult conversations. Even those with experience can find themselves fumbling if they haven’t yet reflected on how their personal feelings may impact the way they show up in the world—and in those difficult conversations.
In this intensive one-day conference, you will learn to lean into that discomfort via individual reflection to begin the hard work of making meaning of how favoritism can show up, and how an orientation around fairness improves relationships, morale, and trust. You’ll engage with a workbook of activities, tools, and resources that allow you to experiment and apply best practices to help you move from understanding difficult conversations, to confidently navigating them.
Specifically, you’ll unpack four key concepts and how they come into play during conversations around topics that are deeply personal:
- Identifying Favoritism
- Understanding Personal Perspectives
- Managing Emotions
- Focusing on Fairness
