Registration

The Workshop will take place on Wednesday 4th December 2019, 2pm until 5pm in the MOAC Seminar Room, Top Floor Senate House, Central Campus.

Admitting a big mistake; challenging a colleague; asking for a raise; telling the person you sit next to every day that they smell. These are just a few of the difficult conversation that you may need to conduct during your professional life. This course will help you explore:

• Why these conversations are challenging
• How to not avoid them
• How to prepare for a successful resolution
• How to adapt your style to different types of people

As well as covering a range of leading theories, you will have the opportunity to practice in the training room and decide when you are going to have that conversation you have been putting off!
