Have you ever come away from a conversation or telephone call feeling completely deflated? And have you ever felt that you weren’t able to deal with the other person in the way you would like?

The session will explore how to:

• Manage ‘difficult’ conversations with empathy and understanding

• Use questions to explore solutions and better outcomes
• Use active listening and demonstrate empathy
