To coincide with her visit for Conversations That Matter, there will be a number of opportunities to participate in either half-day or full-day masterclasses with Dr Vicki Webster.
While leadership can be incredibly rewarding, when dealing with a very difficult manager, colleague or staff member it can also be incredibly challenging and stressful, consuming a disproportionate amount of your time and energy. Even the most experienced leaders can be tempted to avoid the conflict involved in dealing with difficult people. These masterclasses share theories, models and tools that give you the potential to transform the outcome of any tough conversation from anger, frustration or hurt feelings into powerful dialogue.
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of Vicki’s Survival Kit for Targets of Toxic Leadership.
Half-Day Masterclass
Topics covered include:
• Bright and dark side of leadership
• The Dark Triad
• Situational strengths
• Identifying conflict styles and mastering conflict
• Dealing with high conflict people
• Self-leadership – surviving difficult conversations
Skills practice activities include:
• Strategies for addressing negative behaviours – skill versus will
versus hill; providing constructive feedback
• Tools for having courageous conversations
These masterclasses are relevant for business owners, managers, emerging leaders and those with an interest in effective leadership practices.
Full-Day Masterclass
This masterclass will cover the same topics as the half day Masterclass. However, there will be more time for Vicki to share stories from her experience working with leaders, business owners and dysfunctional teams. This session will also provide more time for you to discuss your experiences with your colleagues and share your tips for dealing with difficult people.
