Key Conversations
A key conversation is a discussion between two or more people where the stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong. These conversations- when handled poorly or ignored- may lead to strained relationships and poor results.

Content includes:

  • Common causes of conflict
  • Benefits and examples of key conversations
  • Planning for the interaction
  • Specific steps for conducting the conversation
