Audio Conference: Delivering Difficult Information
Leaders Delivering Difficult Information with Ease and Confidence
One of the most difficult, complicated, complex and most avoided aspect of leadership/management is the delivering of difficult information to people, whether they are staff, superiors or subordinates. We prolong the time we should be delivering the information for many reasons: don't want to disrupt the flow of work; don't want to hurt the person's feelings; afraid it will cause ill feelings or tears; or maybe we did not follow through with what was needed and the situation is partly our fault. It does not matter the reason for not telling someone something they will consider criticism or negative....it is hard to deliver the information.
What if you could deliver information - negative or not - in a timely way that would increase performance and productivity? What if you could actually not have to "feel" your way through tough information and could share it with confidence and effectiveness? Now you can erase the need to delay bringing "bad news" to someone ever again. After 20 years of working with senior leaders in the area of leadership and communication we can help you with the process of delivering and receiving difficult information so you can achieve a successful outcome each and every time. How you will benefit:
- You will learn three (3) top preparation techniques for gathering information to increase others’ performance and productivity.
- You will receive a top ten (10) list of red flags to help you understand that you need to take action and help another improve their effectiveness.
- You will learn the top six (6) questions to ask in order to get to the facts of any situation and help skip the emotion of the moment.
- You will learn how to find out what you don’t know and solve the real problem.
- Apply what you learn to the day to day operation of your organization.
Those who would benefit from attending:
- New leaders, team leaders
- Senior leaders to review core skills and competencies
- Knowledge leaders
- Executives: CEOs, CTOs, COOs and IT

Audio Conference: Women’s Leadership
Women and Leadership – The 21st Century Skills and Competencies
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”
