Encino, CA 91436
Saturday, June 9, 2018, 10am – 12pm

It’s a matter of fact that having successful conversations – especially the crucial ones – determines the quality of your results. Communication is the best tool we can master to create the outcomes we want to see, experience, and feel. Knowing how to effectively have a crucial conversation is paramount for everyone, especially executives, managers, and those in leadership. Without effective techniques for conversation on crucial matters, the art and science of meeting organizational goals, inspiring and influencing others, having successful relationships, and managing your career is much more cumbersome and the results far from rewarding.

This conversation is designed to strengthen your communication skills so that you can have those crucial conversations with your boss, your spouse, your sibling, your child, your employee, your coworker, or your friend with more ease, confidence, and purpose. You will learn practical techniques to create more streamlined messages, carve out your voice and understand others’, and delve in conversations that create results.

This keynote includes handouts and other resources to support the value of your learning.

What are your benefits for attending this conversation?

In this keynote, you will learn:
•    How to prepare for high-stakes situations with a proven technique.
•    How to transform anger and hurt feelings into powerful dialogue.
•    How to make it safe to talk about almost anything.
•    How to be persuasive, not abrasive.
•    How to use new techniques to enable successful conversations.

What Will This Speaking Engagement Cover?

This keynote will cover:
•    What are crucial conversations
•    Mastering crucial conversations
•    Starting with heart
•    Learn to look
•    Make it safe
•    Master the stories
•    State the path
•    Explore others’ paths
•    Move to action
•    Put it all together
•    Yeah, but
