How long will it take to implement the conversation?
This framework is designed to be both thorough and actionable, so you can start applying it almost immediately.
Will this still help if I struggle with confrontation?
Absolutely. This framework is specifically designed to make tough conversations less intimidating. You'll get short, sharp, practical advice on how to approach the conversation constructively, so even if you dislike confrontation, you'll feel more prepared and confident.
Is this only for workplace conversations?
I’ve created this in response to managers’ needs, but the principles are universal, and by using them, you might discover the (very desirable) side effect of having more effective conversations in all aspects of your life.
What if I still find conversations difficult after using this?
Mastering difficult conversations takes practice. It’s like strengthening a muscle - the framework is your starting point and you might want to refer to over the next few months if you need to have these sorts of conversations. Over time it will get easier. If you need more tools, we have them. Try our Mastering Difficult Conversations Masterclass, or a one-on-one session if you need personalised help.
