Seminar

People's ability to engage with and influence each other is the #1 predictor of effective leadership. Learn how to influence and become an effective leader today.

If you feel stuck in a relationship either in your career or at home, chances are it’s the lack of having constructive conversations that's keeping you there. This training introduces you to the principles you need in order to master constructive conversations and to lead effectively -- principles that, if practiced, will yield major improvements in the areas of productivity, quality, safety, diversity, change management, and personal and business relationships. Topics presented are:

  • Turn conversations into the action and results you want
  • Speak persuasively not abrasively
  • Disagree without being disagreeable
  • Speak frankly without risking everything
  • Influence without exerting force
  • Lead with integrity

This training is based on the principles in the New York Times bestseller Crucial Conversations®

"Crucial Conversations is one of the most powerful and useful tools I have found. Chronic communication errors are at the root of so many problems in daily life. I've seen break-throughs with people with whom all other efforts have failed."
Michael Miller
Director, AT&T
