CONFIDENT CONVERSATIONS COACHING

What Workplace Conversations Do You Avoid or Delay?

Managers, business owners and employees all need to have conversations about:

  • Feedback
  • Performance management
  • Termination
  • Redundancy
  • Bullying, harassment and discrimination
  • Pay reviews
  • Promotions
  • Mental health

Unfortunately, many people avoid having these conversations in a timely manner…or at all!

Why are we reluctant to have difficult conversations? 

  • We are scared
  • We want to be liked
  • We are unable to find the right words

And this has consequences…

Case Study: The Pivoting Entrepreneur

One of my clients (let’s call her Ella) created a start-up. She hired employees and things were going great until…the business needed to pivot. The roles of a couple of employees who had been there since the beginning were no longer needed.

Ella desperately avoided the redundancy conversations until she couldn’t any longer. She didn’t know what words to use (and she didn’t have the confidence to use them). Ella made peace with her necessary business decision, and during our coaching sessions we prepared an outline for the conversations and then practiced them together.

Getting it Right

Ella handled the conversations with the employees with compassion and confidence and they left on good terms. Since then, Ella’s business has pivoted a few more times and there’s been more redundancies. Ella still sends me her discussion outlines for review. I send back a gold star.

Way to go Ella!
