Webinar: Challenging Communications
We face challenging situations every single day and, almost always, these situations require challenging conversations. The challenging conversations often come during the most stressful part of our day and can require communication skills that we have not learned or mastered. So, we either avoid them or handle them poorly, which makes the situation even worse. This webinar teaches the tools and techniques that can help you become more skillful when facing communication challenges.
