BRAVE CONVERSATIONS - How to have them and why they matter

Too often, people hold off having the tough conversations required to improve performance, resolve conflict or address frustrations. They’re just too awkward, too risky or too hard. Easier to say nothing. 

Yet whether it’s providing candid feedback, addressing a sensitive issue, asking for support or holding someone accountable - it is the conversations that don’t occur which exact the steepest toll on individual engagement, team productivity and organisational outcomes.

Drawing on her background in business, psychology & consulting, author and executive coach Margie Warrell will share science backed insights and strategies to engage in critical conversations in ways that build your currency within your team/organisation, deepen engagement, grow collaboration and produce stronger results for all stakeholders.

We shall also hear from our panellists Wan Thonh Chow (MD, HSBC Singapore) and Ian Williams (Deputy CEO, Singapore) who shall share their experiences in how they tackled these tough conversations.
