SUMMARY
Hard or confrontational conversations are an inevitable part of the job of a front line employment services consultant, and are a critical moment in the relationship-building process. Getting these exchanges right is very important. Getting them wrong is unfortunately very easy.
Listen to Dr. Colin Harrison, as he explores the key issues underlying effective verbal communication in general, and in confrontational situations in particular.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- How meaning works (you might be surprised!)
- Communicative styles and their utility
- The fight or flight response and how to manage it
- The importance of altercentrism
- Speaking with your ears (active listening strategies)
Understanding these things will position you better to deal with hard conversations in a way that allows you to remain calm and focussed. You should come away with strategies to put into place to improve your communicative behaviour, which will have a positive effect on your professional environment, your own peace of mind, and your effectiveness as a front line consultant.
