  • We Need to Talk: Leading Difficult Conversations

    Difficult conversations are a fact of life at work. Delivering tough feedback to an employee, engaging with unhappy clients or telling the boss something you know they won't like to hear, we all have versions of conversations we'd like to avoid, but can't. Unfortunately, many times these conversations don't go well, and an unpleasant situation only gets worse.

    This session offers a roadmap for having a difficult conversation so you can prepare and get the job done. It's a repeatable process that simultaneously takes emotion out of the equation but ensures empathy is front-and-center at all times.

    'We Need to Talk: Leading Difficult Conversations' helps you get through these necessary but unpleasant moments with everyone's dignity and respect intact. Indeed, when done well, difficult conversations can make you and your organization stronger, more respected and sought-after in the process.

  • Like, Um, Filler Words and Stuff

    We all do it. Filler words like 'um', 'ah', and 'like', creep into everyone's speech at one time or another. If it's occasional, it's really no big deal. If it happens too much, it can be distracting and cost you precious credibility in the workplace.

    Gary Ross approaches the topic of filler words in a supportive way. He won't count the number of times you say 'um' in a presentation and embarrass you in front of others. Instead, Gary gets to the root cause of why we use filler words so you can understand why it happens in the first place. Having identified this, he then covers some tips and tricks to address those root causes and reduce filler words in formal presentations and everyday speech.

    With 'ums' and 'ahs' lessened to an acceptable minimum, people can feel more confident in their own communication. Armed with clearer speech and increased confidence, people can go on to become more effective in the workplace.
