Communicating for Results: From Conflict to Cooperation
No one likes conflict and it’s not fun having to confront employees on their behavior. How do you let someone know they need to improve without having a constructive conversation escalate into workplace drama? You need to know what to say, when to say it, and how to say it in order to resolve potential conflict situations before people get too upset. Plus, teams are so much more effective when people are straightforward in their communication without harboring any resentment from past-unresolved conflict. This workshop will have you walking out knowing that you have the tools to keep your cool when confronting others, or even when someone else is confronting you. Oh, and by the way, you will now know what to say to the bully, so they won’t bother you again. You will be able to tell it like it is but in a way that brings people together and not alienate or divide.
Take away value and ROI: More clear communication, less conflict, higher performing teams.

“I've seen Marilyn speak several times and hired her to speak both at my company as well as for my professional organization, CHART. She consistently delivers a high engagement, impactful and all around amazing session. At my most recent employee conference she spoke in front of area leaders and I remember afterwards being bombarded by those employees who are typically "less than" engaged (you know you have some too). They were floored by how inspiring Marilyn was. If you are looking for your next professional speaker, look NO FURTHER!!! Marilyn is where it's at!!” - Gabe Hosler, VP Del Taco Restaurants, Inc.
