Workshop:
Making Difficult Conversations Easier
Overview
Your colleagues, your employees, your boss, your clients, and your spouse are all possible (and frequent) partners for confrontation and ‘difficult’ conversations. Borrowed from psychotherapeutic approaches effective in treating patients who are often angry, shameful, or traumatised, this half day workshop will provide you with clear evidence-based techniques for making difficult conversations at work and home easier.

Facilitator
Dr Trevor Simper has worked with organisations large and small who focus on supporting effective behavioural changes in their clients. The list is not exhaustive but... social workers, community workers, medics, nurses, teachers, university lecturers, physiotherapists, personal trainers, drugs and alcohol workers and health visitors have all benefited from learning motivational interviewing. 'If I had to try and quantify why the training works so well- it would be that people immediately grasp this approach as good for their own personal lives as well as highly effective for helping their clients.'
