Many people avoid tough conversations with coworkers. They don't want to hurt someone's feelings or make anyone mad.

Many times, it offers an opportunity to work through issues, foster self-awareness, and make positive changes. “Strategies for Handling Difficult Conversations” help you identify how to have a difficult conversation, how to stay on topic, and get positive results. You examine four steps for navigating these conversations and learn it is much more than what you say, but how you say it to produce desired outcomes. Remember, the power of words is STRONG!
