Workshop: Crucial Conversations

Why is it when the conversation is important we get it wrong?  When stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong we miss the mark? We often try to force our perspective or not allow others to have a perspective or worse, stay silent. 

This workshop presented by Vicki Updike, owner of New Sage Strategies and founder of the Women's Leadership Conference, will introduce powerful skills to help you speak up, directly and effectively when it matters most.
