In today’s volatile and complex work environment, how you handle high-stakes conversations can define your leadership reputation, directly impacting trust, alignment, and performance outcomes across your team and organisation. Whether you're addressing underperformance, navigating conflict, or leading change, communicating decisively and effectively requires poise, precision, and influence. 

 

This two-day interactive workshop equips you with practical tools and proven leadership frameworks to approach every conversation with intention and impact: 

  • Conversation Compass™ for clarity and strategic direction in tough conversations 

  • CLEAR Communication™ model to handle challenging dialogues effectively 

  • 4F Feedback™ and DEAL Conversation™ frameworks to transform conflict into opportunities for growth 

  • Decision Under Pressure™ checklist to confidently make decisive choices in high-stakes scenarios 

To ensure the experience is tailored to your leadership context, you'll be asked to complete a short pre-workshop survey. This helps us align the content with your real-world scenarios, so you leave with immediately applicable insights and actions.
