The Topic:
Many leaders tell us their organizations are “pretty good” – but a little “too nice.” When we avoid having tough conversations because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, are we effectively communicating? The answer is no!
Dr. Brené Brown’s research around daring leaders shows that the number one barrier to braver leaders is the lack of courage to have tough conversations. What would happen if leaders replaced “being nice” with “being more courageous”? What impact could this have with teams, organizations and customers?
Learn how to process the fears and feelings associated with saying what needs to be said, and understand the potential positive outcomes of sharing our unique perspectives.
Takeaways:
- Understand why Courageous Conversations matter to you.
- Determine when you’re acting already courageously and what might be getting in the way when you’re not.
- Learn a new tool to simplify and create confidence around the process for giving courageous feedback.
