Conversations with Leaders
Conversations with Leaders is an immersive, hands-on 2-day in-person workshop crafted for individuals ready to step out of their comfort zone and enhance their communication with peers, leaders, and team members.
This training provides participants with the tools and confidence needed to excel in vital conversations such as 1-on-1s, feedback exchanges, performance evaluations, mentoring discussions, and team agreements. Designed for both team members and leaders who either find these conversations challenging or seek to elevate their effectiveness, the workshop emphasizes addressing key issues, sharpening active listening skills, and establishing measurable success criteria.
Participants will also explore strategies for navigating the complexities of a BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) and VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world. This workshop is open to anyone who can attend in person in Friedrichshafen.
