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.

we will explore
- How meaning works (you might be surprised!)
- Communicative styles and their utility
