Starting a conversation is one thing, but keeping it flowing naturally is another. In this session, we'll break down the mechanics of strong conversation skills, from making a memorable first impression to sustaining engaging dialogue without awkward silences or forced small talk. You'll learn practical frameworks for active listening, storytelling that connects, and navigating topics with ease, so you can walk into any room with the confidence that you know exactly what to say, and how to keep the conversation going.
Not every difficult interaction is a clear boundary violation. Sometimes it's a backhanded compliment, a loaded question, or a comment that leaves you thinking, "Wait, what just happened?" In this session, we'll break down how to identify passive-aggression, respond without escalating, and navigate unclear social dynamics with confidence and composure.
Whether it's ending a meeting that's gone off the rails, gracefully leaving a conversation at a networking event, or shutting down a discussion that's become unproductive, knowing how to exit with tact is a career skill. We'll practice scripts and strategies for disengaging without awkwardness, offense, or burning bridges.
When someone makes a dig, a passive-aggressive remark, or a comment designed to throw you off, the instinct is to defend or shut down. But what if you could reframe the narrative in real time and shift the tone of the entire interaction? In this session, we'll practice the "Reframe & Shine" technique to disarm negativity, keep your energy elevated, and steer conversations in a more productive direction.
High-emotion conversations don't have to spiral into conflict. In this session, we'll explore practical frameworks for responding to tense moments without sounding defensive, dismissive, or detached, so you can stay grounded, professional, and solution-focused even when emotions run high.
