Crucial Conversations Training

Does your organization suffer from taboo topics, deference, disagreement, analysis paralysis, information hoarding, office politics or alienation? Do you work with others who are hard to get along with, drag their feet, avoid tough issues, advocate their position excessively, respond poorly to pressure, easily become emotional or run away when disagreements arise?

Then you, your team or your organization might need Crucial Conversations® Training.

What is a Crucial Conversation?

A crucial conversation is a discussion between two or more people where stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong. These conversations—when handled poorly or ignored—cause teams and organizations to get less than-desirable results.
