Courageous Conversations

It’s November. The pumpkin-spiced candles are burning out, the Christmas party invites are creeping in, and performance review season is just around the corner.

It’s the time of year when conversations about goals, feedback and behaviour shift from “We’ll deal with that later” to “Right, we really need to talk.”  

Whether you’re giving feedback, addressing difficult behaviour or trying to have a genuine conversation without it turning into a word salad of awkwardness, this is the session you need. 

Why This Matters  

Let’s not sugar-coat it. Some conversations at work are tricky. We avoid them, fluff them, or overdo them. But done right, they can be game-changers – building trust, improving performance and setting the tone for a healthy, happy team culture.  

The trouble is, most of us aren’t trained in how to say the hard things well. Especially when there’s an end-of-year review hanging in the air and your brain’s already halfway to the holiday break.  

That’s where Stephanie Davies – Laughology’s CEO & Head of Happiness comes in.  

In this practical, straight-talking session, Stephanie will show you how to approach courageous conversations with a cool head, clear intention, and just the right mix of honesty and humanity.  

What You’ll Discover  

In this no-fluff, 45-minute session, you’ll learn how to:  

• Have conversations, using values and behaviours that support performance without sounding like you’ve swallowed a policy doc.  

• Encourage high performance and behaviour change in a way that actually motivates, not mortifies.  

• Stay calm, clear and kind when emotions (or egos) are running high.  

• Use practical tools to handle tricky people and uncomfortable situations with confidence.  

Perfect For:
