Master the Art of Conversation
Why are our conversations so difficult?
Sometimes we are afraid of the consequences or we just don’t know what to say. Then we end up avoiding the conversation or our best attempts blow up. Our attempts do not yield the results we desire. That is why most people struggle to talk about what matters most. We engage in “fake talk”—all kinds of talk that fail to achieve results, create respect, and build our relationships.
Achievement and improved results in our personal and professional lives are accomplished by holding REAL Conversations. You can learn a simple four-step process for holding any difficult conversation. No more guesswork or wondering what to say or how your message will be received. You can learn, understand, and apply the REAL Talk model to the most difficult conversations that you must hold.
Take Responsibility for Your Professional Development
Do you struggle to give people the feedback they need? When team members become defensive do you clam up and avoid the confrontation? Are some of your people disengaged? Do you struggle to provide inclusion training to those who need it the most?
In spite of the pandemic and not being physically together, professional development has never been more important. And those conversations that people are not holding are more important than ever to the success of your business.

What People Are Saying
“The REAL Talk training has helped me and my team to improve our results and the way we interact with our clients more than any other training we have ever experienced. It was spot on!”
“The dialogue skills gained in the REAL Talk training are essential for our success. Together with our team members we learned how to collaborate with one another and other teams outside our department. The skills we gained enabled us to improve our personal and professional skills to work and engage with others. We developed practical skills that we could use immediately.”
“A few years ago our culture was highly disrespectful. Turnover was high and job satisfaction scores were abysmal. DialogueWORKS’ training in dialogue, critical thinking, and leadership skills had a great impact upon me. The training was actionable and was used to create positive, organizational change and momentum.”.
“Our REAL Talk sessions have enabled our teams to speak the same language, become better listeners, understand self-defeating barriers and hold far more productive and constructive conversations throughout all levels of the organization. This in turn has had a tremendous impact on our customer service, employee engagement and ability to accomplish great work in a rapidly changing environment.”
The REAL Conversations training will teach you how to hold a feedback conversation through the use of four simple steps. You will gain the confidence in knowing how to prepare and deliver the feedback that will help people improve their performance and achieve results.
