Program Description:

Many leaders tell us their organizations are pretty good, but a little too nice. When we avoid having tough conversations because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings, are we effectively communicating? The answer is no! Dr. Brené Brown’s research around Daring Leaders shows the number one barrier to braver leaders is the lack of courage to have tough conversations. 

What would happen if leaders replaced being nice with being more courageous? What impact could this have with teams, with organizations, and with customers? 

This webinar will help process the fears and feelings associated with saying what needs to be said and understanding the potential positive outcomes of that sharing our unique perspectives.
