We round off our series on a consistent and regular approach to performance conversations with a huge dose of reality.

The reality is that not all performance conversations will go to plan, and some conversations will be genuinely difficult. Despite a manager’s best efforts, there will be times when performance is still not meeting expectations.

Adding to this challenge, Gallup research suggests that many employees do not believe they gain real value from performance review conversations. It is therefore not surprising that some leaders and managers walk into these conversations with a real sense of dread.

In the Coaching Cafe, we want to equip you with practical ideas and coaching tools that can make a difference in these more difficult situations.

Join Dr Natalie Ashdown and leadership and HR specialist Paula Jones-Hunt as we explore:

✓ What makes performance conversations difficult

✓ How to take an approach to these conversations that is values aligned

✓ How to identify and implement the positive intention of the conversation to achieve better outcomes

Whether you are experienced in these conversations, coaching managers, or simply wanting to strengthen your own toolkit, this webinar will provide a practical and grounded approach to navigating difficult conversations more effectively.
