Have you ever dreaded holding a tough - but necessary - conversation with an employee, coworker, or boss?

Do you put off such conversations for far too long? Have you ever launched into a difficult conversation without being well prepared, only to have the interaction spiral out of control?

Most leaders will probably answer yes to at least one, if not all, of these questions. I know that I certainly did.

Lynne Cunningham, is the author of a new book on the topic which covers why we shy away from these critical conversations. She provides the tools and tactics to navigate them confidently and effectively.

On May 6 she will be the keynote speaker for Studer Community Institute at our next workshop and will share tips on how to select the right conversation model and then structure the dialogue for success.
