Crucial Conversations for Mastering Dialogue training is available to help employees develop the skills needed for creating open dialogue when the stakes are high, opinions differ and emotions are strong.

Those who take part in the training will learn how to:

  • Communicate effectively with all levels of the organization
  • Achieve agreement on important matters
  • Identify their own communication style when under stress
  • Share difficult messages and encourage others to do the same
  • Bring the best ideas to the surface for improved decision-making
  • Resolve disagreements and foster teamwork

The next training cohort for employees will begin Thursday, Oct. 26. This cohort will consist of five virtual sessions. The sessions will occur weekly on Thursdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m. to accommodate employees who may work outside of standard business hours. Please be advised that you will need to obtain prior approval from your leader to participate in the training.
