Get Amazing Results from Your Conversations at Work
How to Build Trust, Rapport, and Connection with (Almost) Anyone to Get More Done
Description
According to John Green, author of The Fault in our Stars and Turtles All the Way down,
“In the best conversations, you don't even remember what you talked about, only how it felt.”
I agree. When you’re having a conversation at work (or even at home), you’re less likely to remember the content than the impact, unless….
Unless you hurt the other person’s feelings, and you don’t address it
Unless you’re seen as pushy…or a pushover
Unless you talk way more than you listen
Unless you’re unaware of your micro-aggressions
Unless you’re inflexible in your adapting your style
In other words, your conversations are more likely to be successful when
you’re mindful of your intentions, willing to flex your approach, and you're skillful in evaluating your impact.
I can help you learn to do all of that -- and more!

” and

and I consult and speaks for clients including Amazon, BlackRock, Google, KraftHeinz, PepsiCo, and The United States Army.
In this course, I will teach you how to improve your results with four types of conversations that all of us need to master to grow ourselves, our relationships with colleagues, managers, and clients, and our careers:
1. Relationship Building Conversations
2. Navigating Conflict and Tricky Conversations
3. Tackling Feedback Conversations
4. When Work Conversations Get Personal
And not only will this course be informative, it will be fast-paced and fun, with lots of practice, concrete takeaways and tools.
I am looking forward to hearing how it's going for you!
Warmly,
Deborah Grayson Riegel, MSW, PCC
