Stressful Conversation

-

This activity reflects on the principles we’ve discussed from Holly Weeks’ “Taking the Stress Out of Stressful Conversations. These principles focus on effective communication strategies such as addressing specific behaviors and using a constructive tone. It will help promote a culture of open dialogue, active listening, and empathy within teams or organizations. This approach emphasizes the importance of handling difficult conversations professionally and constructively, which is essential for effective leadership, also another key concept we’ve discussed. Overall, this will encourage better understanding, collaboration, and problem-solving for a company, ultimately fostering a more cohesive and successful team dynamic. This is a present notion to all of us, throughout school, jobs, and so on.

This was a communication crisis between us and the customers because we were not prepared and ready to make all these changes. We came up with a plan fast and immediately communicated it to our customers.
