Getting Into and Out of Destructive Conversations
We all know how destructive a conversation can be when things go wrong or when two people fail to see eye-to-eye. Individuals become defensive, there is an absence of helpful feedback, and an "us versus them" mentality can set in. This seminar explores where conversations go wrong and what happens when they do. It also examines how these conversations can be turned around and put back on track toward positive results.
