Managing Difficult Conversations

Saskatoon

Introduction and Background

I loved Rachelle’s energy. I really appreciated her expertise and the fact that she sees herself as a practitioner versus an expert. I also found it refreshing that she sees value in each person’s lived experiences as the expert in his/her own life.” - Laura McNaughton, University of Saskatchewan   

During this course, you will develop techniques and strategies that will allow you to handle difficult conversations with skills and confidence. You will engage in practical and interactive discussions and activities that will change the way you see and respond to difficult conversations.
