Navigating Conflict: Conversations that Connect
December 18, 2024 | Noon - 1:30 PM ET | 0.1 CEUs
Velma Knowles, Chief Energy Officer, Leaders Pathway
Difficult conversations, when not handled effectively, or not handled at all, comes with a significant cost. The cost to your business is time and productivity. The cost to relationships in the workplace is a breakdown in trust and engagement. Your organization can’t afford for this to happen. Empower your leaders with the mindset and skillset to engage in tough conversations more effectively. Transform conflict into collaboration and have your tough conversations with less stress and more success. This session will NOT be recorded so you will need to attend live to receive the CEU credit.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES::
- What 4 elements causes conflict
- The leader’s role in navigating the conflict path
- 5 ways to navigate conversations that connect
