October Topic: Communication in the Workplace: Building Trust & Accountability with Employees
Communication is at the heart of every successful workplace, however some of the conversations that matter most can be the hardest to have. Whether addressing performance concerns, navigating misunderstandings, setting expectations, or simply trying to strengthen a working relationship, how we communicate can make the difference between creating connection or conflict.
Join HR expert, business owner, and educator Cheyanne Schaefer, for an engaging and interactive workshop designed for business owners and leaders who want to navigate challenging conversations with confidence while building stronger relationships with their teams.
You’ll learn how to:
Create safety and trust in workplace conversations while still maintaining clear expectations and accountability.
Separate facts from assumptions and approach difficult conversations with curiosity rather than judgment.
Turn challenging conversations into productive action by establishing clear expectations, shared understanding, and meaningful follow-through.
What You’ll Take Away
You’ll leave with a practical approach you can use immediately to prepare for difficult conversations, communicate with greater confidence, and address workplace challenges without sacrificing the relationships you’re trying to build.
Because great workplace communication isn’t about avoiding hard conversations, it’s about knowing how to have them well.
