CCMA Leadership Development Workshop 3 - How to Manage Tough Conversations in Today’s Workplace

Date: 10/11/2021

Venue: On Line Workshop 9.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m.

Many of us avoid giving feedback for fear of creating conflict however this is not an option for Team Leaders and Managers. Giving feedback is crucial for your team’s personal development, motivation and job satisfaction.  

It can be tough being on the receiving end too. Have you ever asked your boss for feedback and been disappointed with the conversation? If it’s positive we tend to dismiss it and if it’s negative it can be hard to hear and even harder to find a way forward. This workshop will help you improve your feedback skills and get comfortable with having those tough conversations.

The workshop starts with the psychology of feedback to help us understand why we feel and react the way we do. We will explore how to give feedback in such a way that enables and empowers the recipient, without causing too much worry or conflict. We will also discuss tips on how to invite, receive and act on feedback graciously.

The third in our series of 6 workshops, the cost per workshop is €150 for CCMA members and €200 for non members. Places are limited to 16 per workshop and group discounts are available.
