Costly Conversations: Building Confidence to Have the Conversations That Matter
July 14 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM AEST
$20.00 - $25.00QLD State Council and NT State Council
Every day, across every organisation, conversations are being avoided or handled poorly.
Performance gaps and issues go unaddressed, commitments are made but not kept, feedback is vague when clarity is needed and behaviours go unchallenged.
As HR professionals, you’re not just navigating these conversations yourselves, you’re expected to build the communication capability in others. You coach leaders, support individuals and teams through conflict, and are expected to build workplace cultures where accountability and psychological safety can genuinely coexist.
That starts with mastering the conversation skills that maintain relationships and reach
outcomes. Crucial Conversations skills.
