Managing difficult conversation
No prerequisites are required for this course.
Whether it’s asking about a sensitive subject, telling someone they have broccoli in their teeth or confronting a co-worker about their rude behaviour, we all face difficult conversations from time to time. This course will give you a framework that you can use to help you work through tough situations.
