What's Conversation Training?
Easy, practical skills training to help leaders lead.
Sticking Power is Critical
Communications training is a great idea if you're the company spokesperson or a member of the C-Suite. What most leaders are missing is workplace conversation training.
No one can blame a director or manager for avoiding awkward conversations at work. But there's a minimum quality and frequency of conversation that every leader should be expected to provide their staff and colleagues.
How much more productive would your team be if you could fix your employee conversation challenges or make them significantly better?
