Effective Conversations

There is a small amount of pre-work to complete before the workshop:  

Take some time to reflect before the workshop and consider:  

• Think of a person you need to have a difficult conversation with. Picture the person and outline the issue
• Think of your own previous experiences of receiving feedback – how do they influence your attitude to giving feedback?
• Have a topic ready for the workshop that you would like to be coached on

Post work:  

After this session we would like you to embed the learning and: 

• Have the conversation with the person you identified, using HIP and AID
• Set the intention of listening at an active and deep level in your meetings next week
• Afterwards, reflect on what you got from the experience of really listening to your colleagues. What do you know now?
• How has this impacted the relationship?
• Who do you really need to listen to next?
• Complete a coaching conversation – reflect on it and decide which of the skills you want to hone: listening, questioning, rapport building? Plan the next one!
