How to Have Difficult Conversations With Your Team as a Leader

Stop pushing back that difficult conversation. Learn how to identify your internal resistance and finally hold that meeting.

We all have that one person we need to talk to, whether it is a business partner, a direct report, or even a manager. You likely have the script ready and the calendar invite drafted, but something keeps you from hitting send. This cycle of scheduling and cancelling creates a persistent barrier that stalls your professional growth and impacts your daily productivity. This session explains the psychology behind why we avoid conflict and how to manage the hesitation that keeps you silent.

You will learn to recognize the specific patterns that cause your procrastination, so you can step into these discussions with confidence rather than fear. By addressing the root of your internal barrier, you can navigate professional confrontation without the typical anxiety.
