ACCESS AFC DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS

Schedule for Difficult Conversations:

Most people dread having them, and that is totally normal. Whether you are on the giving side or the receiving side, it's never easy be part of a conversation intended to deliver news that is not expected to be received well. But there are ways to find the positive in the message and make it a less confrontational experience, turning it into an opportunity for growth. 

In this module, we will discuss what makes difficult conversations so difficult, how to have difficult conversations effectively, and ways to leverage difficult conversations into positive growth opportunities for everyone involved. We will consider how leaders approach difficult conversations instead of avoiding them. This learning experience is intended to give you the confidence and tools to navigate difficult conversations in the workplace.
