Leadership Workshops

While habitual forms of communication are adequate for 95% of the time, there is a crucial 5% where successful outcomes require intentional, reflective thinking and speaking. Most of us need help in building the capacity to handle such occasions, in holding ourselves steady in the face of our reactivity, and in engaging with both wisdom and compassion.

Since 2001 Peter Young has been facilitating interactive workshops that develop participants’ insight, practical skill and confidence. With extensive experience in equipping leaders and managers with coaching skills, Peter is also trained in the Breakthrough Conversations ^TM methodology, supported by mindfulness-based practices, and guided by over 20 years of delivering psychologically-informed business communications training.

Under the broad theme of Difficult Conversations, a wide variety of subjects are explored. These include surfacing and addressing conflict, negotiating complex decisions, setting and holding expectations and boundaries, building team members' commitment, delivering bad news, developing 'tough love', and providing challenging feedback. 

The theme of Coaching Conversations explores practical ways to support individual and team learning, to generate higher levels of engagement and energy, and to raise levels of quality and performance.
