Conversations Worth Having

Conversations Worth Having Workshop

Communication That Creates Results

“Effective communication is the foundation of a thriving organizational culture, fostering high employee performance and connection.”

Your company’s culture and results are a reflection of the conversations you’re having. If you’re experiencing challenges with engagement, performance, collaboration, or innovation, there’s a good chance communication patterns are at the root.

The Problem

Most conversations—especially difficult ones—get stuck in negativity, scarcity, and fear. We focus on what’s wrong, what can’t be done, or who’s to blame. This creates cycles of:

  • Conflict and disrespect
  • Low energy and engagement
  • Poor performance and service
  • Blame and judgment
  • Resistance to change
  • Lack of creativity and innovation

The Solution

Conversations Worth Having (CWH) is a strategic communication method that shifts focus and interpersonal dynamics, generating engagement, creativity, collaboration, and business excellence.

What You’ll Learn

This experiential workshop equips you with three foundational practices that dramatically improve conversation outcomes:

Tuning IN

  • Learn to pause, breathe, and get curious before reacting
  • Move from automatic responses to conscious choices
  • Separate facts from the stories you make up about those facts
  • Prepare for deep listening through intentional presence

Generative Questions

  • Learn to ask questions that deepen understanding and foster engagement
  • Move from certainty to curiosity
  • Frame conversations to inspire creative and innovative thinking
  • Handle challenging situations with confidence

Positive Framing

  • Use the “flipping technique” to redirect conversations toward desired outcomes
  • Focus on possibilities rather than problems
  • Build trust and cooperation through intentional language choices
  • Create dialogue that strengthens relationships
