ADVANCED DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS COURSE
This course is designed to teach the concepts and skills that allow participants to initiate and maintain productive discussions in complex and emotionally fraught negotiations and conflicts. Through lecture, simulations, and in-depth study of participants’ own challenges, we examine psychological and interpersonal dynamics that make communication challenging, and offer a framework for managing such conversations more effectively.
