Hosted by Grahame Robb Associates Ltd

25 years of research with over 20,000 people has shown that the inability to have open and honest conversations with others about sensitive, emotional and controversial issues is the key difference
between success and failure. Reluctance to hold these conversations about poor performance, bad behaviour or failed expectations, and the desire to sweep them under the carpet hoping that they will go away, has a major impact on individual, team and organisational performance.

This breakfast seminar will help you learn how to break this €˜culture of silence€™, and will introduce a new, fresh and powerful set of principles and skills that will enable you to talk openly and honestly to anyone about almost anything how to stay in dialogue, resolve the problem, and at the same time build the relationship with that person.

Whether you are a Chief Executive, Financial Director, HR Director, Head of Learning and Development or Training, a Project Manager, Operations Manager, or simply someone who is holding back from speaking up to anyone about a difficult issue, then this is a workshop you cannot afford to miss.

Delegates will:

  • Understand what a Crucial Conversation is, and identify their own Crucial Conversations
  • Gain an insight into how Crucial Conversations will improve bottom line results and individual and organisational performance
  • Understand that we often avoid speaking up about some issues - or deal with these issues badly, in a way that we later regret - and it does not have to be this way
  • Discover a powerful way to create an open and honest culture within their organisation, and remove the culture of silence
  • Take away some key skills from some elements of Crucial Conversations, which they can start to use back in the workplace.
