LEAD: Tackling Difficult Conversations - Live Webinar
An extremely important skill for supervisors to learn is how to confront difficult situations. Difficult conversations, in this context, are topics that you may find challenging to discuss, such as addressing performance or behavior issues of an employee or discussing delicate work-related issues with your manager.

This course addresses the underlying issues that make these conversations especially uncomfortable and demanding, how to prepare yourself to have them, and how to confront the other person effectively. Face your fears of conflict and reduce your anxiety about the tough discussions you know you need to have with others. Based upon the best-selling book Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott.

LEAD: Tackling Difficult Conversations - Live Webinar
An extremely important skill for supervisors to learn is how to confront difficult situations.

This course addresses the underlying issues that make these conversations especially uncomfortable and demanding, how to prepare yourself to have them, and how to confront the other person effectively. Face your fears of conflict and reduce your anxiety about the tough discussions you know you need to have with others. Based upon the best-selling book Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott.
