How to Tell Anyone Anything: Breakthrough Techniques for Difficult Conversations at Work

Do you and your team struggle with how to have difficult conversations in the workplace, particularly in sensitive situations such as performance problems, hygiene, or attitude issues?

Soon to become a major nationally-published book, this program will teach you and your team the secrets of strength-based feedback—a proven, criticism-free way to communicate with people in ways that create real behavior and performance change. Using the latest principles of communications psychology, you will learn why typical “deficit-based” feedback doesn’t work, as well as how to use the C.A.N.D.I.D. approach – a six-step process that addresses issues head-on without getting people defensive.

These techniques will help people at every level of the workplace – ranging from front-line teams to supervisors – learn to effectively influence and coach other people, while building lifelong interpersonal and leadership skills.

Learning Objectives:

  • Master the first 30 seconds of a difficult conversation: Creating a neutral opening that gets you in dialogue.
  • Ask effective questions that engage the other person.
  • Take the emotion out of difficult messages.
  • Find the hidden incentive in any situation.
