Are you dealing with:
​
-
Discussions that turn into heated arguments without productive outcomes,
-
The same performance issues that return again and again,
-
Stress and burnout,
-
Conflict avoidance and people-pleasing became second nature for many,
-
An uphill battle with finding new ways to boost performance and effectiveness?
Addressing problems and navigating conflict are vital to creating an organization where people can thrive.
​
By avoiding difficult discussions or using approaches that create persistent and escalating problems, we negatively impact motivation, engagement, and teamwork and create an environment where neither people nor performance can thrive.
Develop the thoughts and behaviours that lead to success.
​
The Delving Into Difficult Discussions program helps you develop the thoughts and behaviours you need to plan and have conversations that lead to “win:win” outcomes, recognizing that success comes most easily when we perceive problems and conflict as positive, use emotional intelligence and assertive behaviours, and help others do the same.

"Recently, I participated in the “Delving into Difficult Discussions” program that was facilitated by Jenny Barkan. I have to say that it was a great experience. First of all, the reading materials are comprehensive yet very clear and straight to the point. And secondly, Jenny was able to create a safe environment, where all the participants were willing to share their thoughts, wins and fails and real-life examples. The conversations flowed almost effortlessly but with a lot of purpose and learning points.
As an HR professional, I highly recommend this program to anyone, especially to people in leadership positions."
