The Art of Difficult Conversations: How Leaders Can Master Tough Talks

Most leaders struggle with one of the most critical parts of the job: having the conversations that matter when it’s uncomfortable to do so.

Whether it's addressing performance issues, giving real feedback, or navigating team tension—these moments define our leadership. And yet…

70% of employees say they avoid difficult conversations at work altogether.

(Crucial Learning, 2021)

Join us for a powerful and practical session that goes deeper than communication tips. In this 90-minute executive forum, we’ll explore:

✅ Why most “difficult conversations” activate our nervous systems—and what to do about it

✅ The link between psychological safety, trauma-informed leadership, and team performance

✅ A 6-step framework used in Unity & Company’s Catalyst Leadership training to approach tough talks with clarity, confidence, and care

🧠 You’ll walk away with:

A new lens on why these conversations go sideways

A practical roadmap to handle them with more ease

Tools to regulate yourself and create safety for others

Sample language, real-world examples, and reflection prompts

“This isn’t just about skill. It’s about presence.”

If you’re ready to stop avoiding and start leading—this session is for you.
