Third annual conference
How is change changing? Explore new patterns of practice.
Crucial conversations with a cross-cultural twist
with Richard Wilkinson
The stakes are high, opinions vary and emotions run strong. It’s time for a crucial conversation.
What happens when you add, "and cultures differ"?
Crucial Conversations by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler and Stephen R. Covey
Richard draws on the results of a workshop he led in Vietnam with a wildly multi-cultural team. You’ll consider the key ideas from the book Crucial Conversations and then shift your cultural lens to adapt the book's principles to different cultural contexts.
Expand your notions of how to engage in challenging conversations globally.
