“Tough Talks: Turn Conflict into Opportunity”

Leaders at all levels are measured by how they handle difficult situations. But no one ever trains us on how to do this, so we “wing it”—usually with less than optimal results. Having—and practicing—a process will help participants not only diffuse tough talks but also use them to create stronger relationships.

There are two kinds of tough talks:

Those where you can’t change an outcome
Those where people can work together to improve a situation

There are three parts to people’s brains:

Survival brain
Emotional brain
Human brain

In a crisis, people lose 2/3rds of their brains: all they have left is their survival brain—where no decisions and plans are possible.

Every crisis may feel different, but everyone goes through the same stages.

Become a Doctor of Persuasion—A GAP MD—to guide you through difficult conversations.
