Stop Avoiding the Conversations That Hold Your Team Back

The Performance Coaching Model shows you how to turn stressful conversations into productive discussions that drive performance and reduce drama.

Every leader faces difficult conversations — but not every leader handles them well.

If you’ve ever walked away from a tough conversation thinking,
“I wish I’d said that differently,”
“I thought I was clear,” or
“Now it feels even worse,”
you’re not alone.

Most leaders don’t avoid difficult conversations because they don’t care, they avoid them because they don’t know what to say, how to say it, or when to say it.

When they finally get the courage, they either wing it, get distracted, or talk in circles, making the situation worse than it was before the conversation.

In this 45-minute Courageous Conversations Fast Track, leadership expert and author Marlene Chism reveals the hidden pitfalls that derail performance conversations, and how to fix them using her proven Performance Coaching Model (PCM).

The truth is,

even good leaders make avoidable mistakes.

These mistakes show up in subtle ways — in tone, timing, or lack of preparation — and the result is always the same:

Unclear expectations

Lingering tension

Missed opportunities for accountability

You’ll leave this session knowing exactly what to do differently next time so you can lead with confidence, consistency, and courage.

In this fast-track webinar, you’ll...

Identify what’s currently derailing your leadership
Pinpoint the key skills to strengthen right away
Apply Marlene’s recommendations for preparing difficult conversations
Understand what makes a coaching conversation effective
Recognize and manage the three types of resistance
