Crucial Conversations
Developing a team culture of courageous and crucial conversations
The ability to hold crucial leadership conversations, even in the face of challenging and emotional behaviours, is one of the essential interpersonal skills for leaders. Yet we know that many leaders may avoid certain conversations, which have the potential to be ‘difficult’ with a hope that the behaviour and the ‘personalities’ will just resolve in time. Often the result is escalating concerns in behaviour, performance or wellbeing.
This session will cover:
Understanding how effective conversations build relationships, performance and wellbeing in workplace.
An overview of the primary crucial conversations leaders will need to have (i.e. giving feedback, supportive check-ins, responding to concerns, rebridging strained relationships).
Discussion on what stops leaders from having crucial conversations and why some conversations are ‘difficult’.
How to develop the courage and confidence to step up and start a crucial conversation.
The power of the Fierce Conversation Structure (demonstration).
How to tackle your most pressing issue today and ways to build a culture of constructive conversations.
This session will provide you with the opportunity to explore a range of strategies you can implement immediately.

Partnering with DFP was an incredibly positive experience. From the outset, they were proactive, professional and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations as a leader within the Mental Health sector. What truly impressed me was their insight into the healthcare sector and their strong connections with reputable employers, particularly within the Federal Government space. DFP not only helped me secure a role with long term potential but also provided a level of service that made the entire process stress free and rewarding. I highly recommend them to any clinician seeking meaningful and impactful work.

From the very first contact, Mel at DFP Health made me feel at ease. She took the time to understand not only my professional skills but also my passion for Indigenous mental health. Mel supported me every step of the way. Her genuine care, encouragement and personal touches made what could have been a daunting process feel supportive and empowering. Thanks to DFP, I have found a role that is a perfect match for my values and skills.

We have used DFP services three times now over the past few months and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided each time. Thank you.

From the very beginning, my DFP Consultant Mel was extremely helpful and always available to answer any question I had throughout the recruitment process. I received regular updates, often without even needing to ask, and felt genuinely cared for as an individual.
