We need to talk openly about how we are performing and we sometimes need to have an 'honest' conversation with our manager. We all know this, but it can be difficult.
This short, focused workshop will give you the confidence and skills to have a conversation with your manager (or anyone else for that matter) about your performance and how you can add value. It will focus on how to get yourself heard and build better working relationships with those key to your success.
The programme will help you:
Overcome the barriers to effective performance conversations
Receive feedback without taking it personally
Improve working relationships with your manager
Agree realistic expectations and targets (and get 'buy-in' for them)
