Topic: Untangling High‑Stakes Conversations
As collective endeavours, projects rely on alignment between diverse stakeholders. Yet conflict often emerges when assumptions remain hidden, perspectives go unexplored, and conversations prioritise persuasion over understanding.
This free 1.5‑hour interactive workshop is designed for project professionals who regularly navigate complex, high‑stakes conversations. Participants will explore how confirmation bias, limited listening, and the desire to “win” can create the illusion of alignment — storing conflict that later resurfaces as delays, rework, or damaged relationships.
Through guided discussion and experiential learning, participants will practise approaches that shift conversations from debate to generative dialogue, where diverse perspectives are genuinely understood and shared solutions can emerge.
Learning Outcomes:
- Perceive beyond what is evident in high-stakes conversations in project organisations by listening with empathy.
- Develop strategies to foster generative dialogues that enable team members to think together and produce valuable project outcomes
