Leadership Clinic Part 5: Having difficult conversations

This webinar is the fifth in a series of interactive leadership conversations, led by Barbara Watson and Bridgit Williams. Each session will have a leadership focus that will be illustrated by way of relatable scenarios. Participants will discuss the problems, issues and dilemmas in these scenarios and draw on leadership theory and experience to develop a range of appropriate responses to each situation.

The intention is to present everyday leadership situations and collectively problem-solve potential and implementable solutions.

The series will be structured around the following topics:

What does it take to be an effective leader?
Setting and maintaining clear expectations
Coaching effective practice in others
Managing poor performance
Having difficult conversations
Understanding and working through power dynamics

Having difficult conversations sometimes is part and parcel of being an effective leader. It is not something we necessarily enjoy. But it is 100% necessary if we want to achieve quality outcomes in our ECE services.

In this webinar, Barbara and Bridgit will discuss how we can approach and manage difficult conversations with respect and dignity for all.
