Course Description

Organizations mired in mediocre results (or perhaps not achieving the heights leaders had hoped for) can generally count on a predictable and correctable root cause: their employees are either not willing or not able to bring up touchy controversial, or high-stakes issues and handle these discussions well.

Based on more than twenty-five years of research, Crucial Conversations training asserts one thing: if you can transfer skills that top performers routinely use to handle crucial conversations – particularly in the presence of authority – then you can create more positive results across the entire organization (everything from quality to customer satisfaction to morale).

Crucial Conversations training teaches individuals and teams from different backgrounds, departments, and specialties how to willingly and effectively surface and discuss ideas in a way that leads to virtually everyone buying into the decisions – creating broad alignment, maximizing strategy, and ensuring commitment to the best ideas. When taught, these skills inevitably result in rapid, sustainable, and wide reaching positive changes in the results that you care most about the most.
