We will practice the coaching skill of precise listening while learning a set of interactive powerful theories that help you understand, predict and facilitate changes in behavior for your clients and yourself. Help your clients manage sensitive and potentially upsetting conversations that lead to lost opportunities, mistrust, backstabbing, and ineffectiveness. Help them learn skills for sharing observations and feelings without getting themselves or someone else into trouble. Make difficult conversations into opportunities for solving problems, creating stronger relationships, and creating a rewarding and effective work environment.
This group will benefit any coach whose clients need to learn to manage difficult or unproductive conversations.
Key Learning Points & Benefits for Participants:

This can lead to confused communication and ineffective behavior.
- Participants will learn to identify how the surface meaning, the deep meaning and the unspoken hidden motivations interact.
- Participants will learn how to gently intervene in these interactions to facilitate clients in achieving their goals.
- Help your clients learn skills for sharing observations and feelings without getting themselves or someone else into trouble.
- Help your clients manage sensitive and potentially upsetting conversations that lead to lost opportunities, mistrust, backstabbing, and ineffectiveness.
