CULTURE OF COURAGE: EMBOLDEN OTHERS TO THINK BIGGER & ACT BOLDER
Harness the power of conversations to grow, learn and thrive
The hardest conversations are often the most critical yet too often the issues that most need to be addressed aren’t. Research shows that over 80% of workers are avoiding at least one uncomfortable conversation at work — a conversation they know they need to hold but are dreading.
In this insightful, interactive, and powerful program, Margie deep dives into the DNA of communication, sharing a framework of how to engage in the crucial and courageous conversations needed for individuals, teams, and organizations to learn, grow and thrive.
Attendees will learn practical frameworks and skills they can apply immediately to:
- Bridge organizational silos and get everyone pulling behind the same mission
- Address conflict and build collaboration
- Provide constructive feedback in ways that produce optimal outcomes
- Speak with greater authority, presence, and impact
- Listen beyond what is being said to get to the heart of issues that derail
- Text or talk: discern the right mode for communication and avoid the pitfalls of hiding behind technology
- Express anger without insult and disagree without being disagreeable
- Build a culture of accountability and manage conflicting commitments with integrity
