Difficult Conversations:
How to Set Yourself Up for Success
Difficult conversations can be a source of anxiety and hinder our productivity in the workplace. Join Aaron Levy of Raise The Bar for a discussion about how to eliminate our emotional filters and respond, rather than react. Whether you need to discuss performance issues with an employee, deliver bad news to a client, or serve as a mediator for your team, this process will help you to frame the conversation for the best possible outcome.
Listening with Intention and Attention:
How to Motivate Your Team
Listening is hard, and we’ve likely not practiced or trained this skill properly, which is why most people suck at listening—and also why most of us go through each day of our lives not being truly heard. Where there is a collective problem, however, there is also an opportunity. In this session, Aaron Levy shares how you can improve your ability to listen and in turn have a profound impact on the way you lead your people.
