Course Descriptions

Navigate Difficult Conversations - Sep 25-27 8:30-11:30am or Jan 16-18 8:30-11:30am

Are some conversations simply too difficult to manage – or do you wish you had handled a particular discussion differently?  As we navigate meetings, interactions both professional and personal, as well as situations where consensus or strategic decisions need to be collectively agreed upon, making certain our message is received as intended can be a significant challenge.  Moving from face-to-face conversations to virtual environments adds an additional layer of complexity that is often unfamiliar and can be riddled with potential pitfalls.  Explore different approaches to communication and uncover personal triggers within difficult conversations.  You will learn about the importance of flexibility in approach, and why being curious can help move a conversation from disagreement to mutual understanding.  This course is intended to provide learners with new skills, knowledge and tools to support effective communication.

Manage Power Dynamics - Nov 1-3 8:30-11:30am or Feb 7-9 8:30-11:30am
With the responsibility of leadership, comes the reality of navigating complex relationships and organizational dynamics.  An underlying current in both is power.  Not often talked about, power and ego play a crucial role in organizational relationships and group dynamics.  Gain an understanding of how to develop your own presence, as well as wisdom, to discern between internal and external power.  You will develop strategies to navigate difficult behaviours and cultivate positive behaviours leading to successful outcomes.
