Mastering the Art of Sensitive Workplace Conversations

From time to time all managers will face conversations which they anticipate will be difficult and which they may feel ill-equipped to handle. In most cases, the subject matter is sensitive, and it may elicit strong, complex emotions that can be hard to predict or control and may lead to conflict.

By building these critical skills, participants not only enhance their leadership capabilities but also contribute to a healthier, more collaborative workplace environment. This training emphasises the importance of early intervention, transparency, and resilience in addressing workplace issues, ensuring a foundation of trust and alignment within teams.

Knowing how to have sensitive conversations – how to start them, get through them and finish them will help make the workplace function more smoothly.
