HAVING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS WITH POSITIVE RESULTS

Deliverables

After engaging in any of our sessions in the series, Having Difficult Conversations with Positive Results, participants will have helpful tools to plan for effective communication, manage difficult episodes, navigate challenging people, execute healthy boundaries and overall, feel more satisfied with relationships and conversations. In our sessions, we will learn, discuss, reflect and practice strategies so that they are easier to use once we leave our training space. We will also learn how to turn good practice into habits so that effective communication is a part of your everyday routine.

Background

After more than 30 years in educational leadership, Dr. Patty Corum has chronicled the most useful tools for successful communication, even in the most difficult situations. Having spent 14 years in human resources in a large district, much was “learned by doing.” In addition to experiences in teacher negotiations, hiring and firing, investigations and managing over 3,000 employees, Patty has logged hours observing effective communicators and admired leaders to see what they do differently and why they are successful.

Logistics

Sessions can be tailored to group needs, are typically 3-4 hours in length, and involve a great deal of interaction and practice. We will work with groups of any size, background or profession, as effective communication is a critical skill needed in all walks of life. Sessions are listed below and groups may select several sessions for a more extensive learning experience. When groups plan for several session, we are able to provide more practice.
