Difficult Conversations (LCW) – November 19

Interpersonal problems are a fact of life. Wherever you interact with people, it is likely that you will have problems from time to time.

This workshop takes the participant through the steps of successful conversations be it: personality conflicts between co-workers, body odor or emotional outbursts into successful conversations.

This series is specifically for aspiring and emerging leaders interested in preparing their toolkit for a future in leadership and those who understand that leadership exists at all levels in an organization.
