Venue: Bledsoe Family Winery, 550 SW Industrial Way, Suite 198, Bend
Are you struggling with how to master these conversations in your business life? What about your personal life? From managing a housekeeper, going toe to toe with the mechanic, reviewing expectations with an employee, client, coworker or boss, or even your spouse, this small-group networking activity has got you covered.
Join us for an evening of adding depth and breadth to our professional networking relationships as we unpack how to have hard talks in small group settings! Practice some skills and get to know each other in a new and deeper way.
Three takeaways this evening will foster confidence in your future interactions:
1. Focus on the issue, not the person. This takes prep.
2. Learn how to actively listen by truly embracing curiosity and showing up very present.
3. Seek solutions knowing your own boundaries before you begin.
