What You'll Learn

Whenever you're not getting the results you want, it's likely an important conversation either hasn't happened or hasn't been handled well. In fact, both individual and organizational success is largely determined by how quickly, directly, and effectively we speak up when it matters most. At the heart of healthy and high-performance organizations are people willing and able to hold Crucial Conversations.

The communication skills we teach focus on a specific kind of interaction: those when stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong. This is not a course on winning friends or winning people to your way of thinking; it's about strengthening relationships and securing results in the moments that matter most.

Learn why having Crucial Conversations is so important and what it costs when you avoid or handle them poorly.

When it comes to the health of relationships, teams, and organizations, one thing affects everything: communication. Preview a few skills from the course and see how dialogue skills can allow you to get better outcomes.
