The Problem
Difficult conversations are inevitable. We don't make space to consider the emotional drivers and blockers involved intentionally. But when we consider and actively shape the emotions involved, we empower ourselves to navigate these challenging moments with greater skill and compassion.
Handbook Objectives:
-
To better prepare individuals for navigating difficult conversations

To enhance emotional intelligence and understanding during challenging conversations
-
To offer a guided framework for planning, executing, and reflecting on difficult conversations
