Join us for Confident Conversations–ProInspire’s first-ever cross-sector workshop open to the public. This one-day course deep dives on the skills required to successfully hold difficult conversations in the workplace–conversations where the interests of the two parties are not in alignment, often causing tension or emotional conflict. Participants in the program will leave this highly engaging session with immediately applicable insights and skills, including an improved ability to raise difficult topics and skillfully conduct a difficult conversation to reach productive outcomes. Participants will prepare for a real, upcoming difficult conversation. Appropriate for mid or seasoned career professionals in the public, private, and non-profit/social sectors.
