Talk Description

Everyday work in modern companies is full of unnecessarily stressful conversations. Many of these only become stressful because someone’s attitude gets too strong too quickly. This builds distance between managers and their teams and makes people stagnate in their careers (often without them knowing).

In this webinar, Jakub will share a few tips on how to be better at handling tough conversations and still getting our message across. We’ll also cover examples of situations where it’s the managers who are not involving their teams correctly which leads to prolonged conflict and issues, and how to handle these better.
