What is the most difficult conversation you need to have at work that you have been putting off? Imagine the weight lifted from your shoulders once it's finally over. Studies show that organizations prioritizing these tough discussions consistently thrive, fostering higher levels of trust and psychological safety.

In this interactive, play-based workshop, we will help you master high-stakes communication that you can apply as soon as you return to the office. We will dismantle the power dynamics you must address, the strategic preparation required, the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) you need to cultivate, and the follow-up necessary to ensure a successful outcome. Through play-based simulations, you will practice these hard conversations to somatically understand what it feels like to stay centered. This somatic play practice builds the "muscle memory" you need to remain calm and effective when it matters most. This hands-on, mind-on experience will push you outside your comfort zone, so the real-world discussion will feel easy in comparison.

Learning Objectives:

• Navigate power dynamics to speak confidently across all levels

• Apply tactical EQ to stay centered under high pressure

• Build muscle memory for calm and effective difficult conversations
