In healthcare, avoiding hard conversations can come at a cost to trust, performance, and ultimately patient care. This workshop is designed to give you the confidence and tools to tackle challenging topics with kindness, clarity, and professionalism.
We’ll explore how to keep emotionally safe during tough conversations while still saying what needs to be said.
Whether it’s about performance, behaviour, or wellbeing, courageous conversations are essential for a thriving team culture.
