Courageous Conversations

Courageous Conversations

Lead with Courage. Influence with Confidence. Build Team Engagement & Connection.

A Practical One-Day Leadership Workshop

Great leadership isn't about avoiding difficult conversations. It's about having the courage and skills to navigate them well.

Whether you're giving performance feedback, challenging a decision, influencing without authority or navigating strong emotions and differing opinions, how you show up in conversations matters.

Too often, we either avoid conversations to keep the peace or push our point of view so strongly that others stop listening.

But what if we could do both? Be clear AND curious. Challenge AND care. Speak up AND stay connected.

Courageous Conversations is an interactive, neuroscience-informed leadership program designed to help new and experienced leaders navigate challenging conversations with greater confidence, clarity and connection.

"Crucial conversations fall short when disagreement lacks care, or when care lacks the confidence or courage to speak with candour."

— Collective Courage

What You'll Explore – Four Key Themes

1. Speak with Courage and Care

Learn to balance candour with curiosity and courage with care. Explore the Courageous Conversation Matrix and practical approaches to giving feedback, addressing difficult issues and challenging perspectives without damaging relationships.

2. Navigate Emotions and Differences

Understand the neuroscience of emotions and learn to recognise and manage triggers, defensiveness and strong reactions. Build confidence to navigate differing opinions, listen to understand and stay in productive tension rather than avoiding discomfort or escalating conflict.

3. Influence and Create Alignment

Explore five sources of influence to build credibility and influence without relying on positional authority. Learn to navigate competing agendas, influence up and across organisational boundaries and find common ground while respecting different priorities.

4. Build Team Psychological Safety

Create the conditions for open, honest dialogue where teams feel safe to speak up, challenge assumptions and share different perspectives. Explore practical techniques for leading team meetings that encourage healthy debate, innovation and participation from all voices.

Who Should Attend?

Designed for emerging, new and experienced leaders, managers and professionals who want to strengthen their confidence in challenging conversations, influencing others and building high-performing teams.

Also, a valuable next step for Dare to Lead™, Leaders as Coach or Leading through Change graduates looking to further practise and apply their courageous leadership skills. No previous training is required.
