Andrea is the founder of Confident Conversations, a company that helps managers and leaders at all levels within organisations get comfortable with the uncomfortable and to have conversations that matter.

In this episode, we discuss something that sounds very obvious and that a lot of people don’t think they need any help doing…… Having conversations with people.

Andrea doesn’t think it is as easy as it sounds, she believes there are 7 significant conversations that leaders should be having to get the best out of their team and achieve the desired outcome.  

In this episode Ian and Andrea discuss:

• Why do we need to coach managers on how to have uncomfortable conversations
• The seven significant conversations
• Why do managers avoid these conversations and what happens if they don’t happen.
• Andrea tells Ian off for doing it wrong for so long.
