Want to develop your communication and leadership skills in holding Courageous Conversations?

Want to develop your communication and leadership skills in holding Courageous Conversations?What is a Courageous Conversation?In courageous conversations, whether in the context of performance appraisal, mentoring, or coaching, individuals are encouraged to express their views openly and truthfully, rather than defensively or with the purpose of laying blame. Integral to courageous conversations is an openness to learn.What is an example of a Courageous Conversation?Typical examples include handling conflict, confronting a colleague, expressing an unpopular idea on a team, asking for a favour, saying no to a request for a favour, asking for a raise, or trying to have a conversation with someone who is avoiding you. Research shows that many women find such “courageous conversations” challenging as we have been conditioned to be compliant.Training Overview:<ul><li>6 training sessions (all are 90 mins and virtual)</li><li>12 contact hours</li><li>Curated reading and self-directed learning</li></ul>Training Schedule:<ul><li>Learning Outcome: Building Consciousness, Confidence and Competence</li><li>Learning Outcome: Creating the Container</li><li>Learning Outcome: Building Psychological Safety</li><li>Learning Outcome: Embracing Vulnerability</li><li>Learning Outcome: Handling Emotional Wake</li><li>Learning Outcome: Daring to Lead with Radical Candour</li></ul>Training Dates:<ul><li>Friday 16th January 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li><li>Friday 13th February 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li><li>Friday 13th March 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li><li>Friday 17th April 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li><li>Friday 15th May 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li><li>Friday 12th June 2026: 9.00-10.30am GMT/ BST</li></ul>Training Facilitator:Hannah Wilson, is a <a href="https://www.hannah-wilson.co.uk/" title="https://www.hannah-wilson.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Leadership Development Consultant, Coach and Trainer</a>.
