This engaging session is a great opportunity to learn how to guide and influence productive outcomes from difficult situations through a better understanding of human behaviours and with simple yet effective and powerful communication strategies.

• Overcoming conversation reluctance
• Understanding what makes us tick
• Confidently leading conversations for win/win outcomes
