Managing Difficult Conversations

As founder of Skilful Conversation Limited (www.skilfulconversation.com), I bring a fresh approach to coaching and training by combining nearly two decades of working with companies and individuals, initially as a practising barrister and, more recently, as a trainer and facilitator.My coaching philosophy is informed by my belief in the power and responsibility of the individual to bring about change in their professional and personal lives.  I believe that coaching at its best is coaching at its simplest – a skilful, directed blend of conversation and silence.  The skill coming in the coach’s ability to listen, to form and put appropriate questions in a supportive but challenging environment, to listen to and challenge the answers and to provide feedback.I use my background to provide an innovative training experience, including a view from the other side of the courtroom - what could you learn from a professional advocate?My preferred approach is tailored, bespoke workshops which I facilitate rather than deliver, using my coaching skills to ensure your objectives are met.

Skilful Conversation Limited

Is there a conversation you've been putting off?  Whether it's asking for a promotion, tackling the performance of a team member, or getting a customer to commit - bring the issue and we will find the solution.
This is an interactive small-group workshop which will enable you to break through the limitations holding you back from tackilng those difficult conversations in your business or personal life.  Suitable for all - employees and the self-employed, or anybody who wants to improve their communication skills.
Ask yourself this: Is there a more difficult conversation than the one a barrister has with a judge?  What could you learn from that experience?
We've distilled all of the barrister's knowledge and skill and extracted general principles that can be applied to any conversation, both in the workplace and at home.  Whether it's asking for a promotion, tackling the performance of a team member, or getting a customer to commit - bring the issue and we will find the solution. 
Our facilitator has 14 years' experience as a barrister and over 5 years' experience as a facilitator and coach - she will bring out strategies you didn't know were in there!  And there will be plenty of time to tackle individual issues.
As an added bonus, the ticket price can be deducted from any coaching package booked with Skilful Conversations within 2 weeks (not deductible from individual coaching sessions).  And refreshments are included.
