What you will take from this course

You will be able to open a difficult conversation without triggering a defence, stay in it when it gets uncomfortable, and repair it if it goes wrong.

The lessons

  1. Lesson 1 of 5

    The conversation you are avoiding

    Name it, and count what the avoidance is actually costing.

  2. Lesson 2 of 5

    Separating the person from the problem

    Why most difficult conversations fail in the first fifteen seconds.

  3. Lesson 3 of 5

    Opening lines that do not start a fight

    Four openings that work, and the one that reliably does not.

  4. Lesson 4 of 5

    When you are the one being told

    Taking difficult feedback without defending, and what to do in the twenty minutes afterwards.

  5. Lesson 5 of 5

    What to do when it goes wrong anyway

    Repair is a skill, and it is more useful than getting it right first time.
