            &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tools for Talking when stakes are high&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
            Could a conversation (or avoiding one) be keeping you from getting the&lt;br /&gt;
            results you need? Whatever the issue&amp;mdash;from poor productivity or declining&lt;br /&gt;
            quality to lack of teamwork or strained relationships&amp;mdash;it&amp;rsquo;s likely that you&amp;rsquo;re&lt;br /&gt;
            experiencing the effects of a poorly held crucial conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;h3&gt;What is a Crucial Conversation?&lt;/h3&gt;
            A crucial conversation is a discussion between two or more people where stakes are high,opinions vary, and emotions run strong. These conversations&amp;mdash;when handled poorly or ignored&amp;mdash;cause teams&lt;br /&gt;
            and organizations to get less&amp;mdash;than-desirable results.&lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;h3&gt;Crucial Conversations Training&lt;/h3&gt;
            Drawing on 30 years of research, our award-winning training teaches you how to achieve spirited dialogue at all&lt;br /&gt;
            levels in your organization; you&amp;rsquo;ll begin to surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, and then act&lt;br /&gt;
            on your decisions with unity and commitment. This training experience will give you a set of tools that builds&lt;br /&gt;
            alignment, agreement, teamwork, interpersonal communication and improved performance.&lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;br /&gt;
            &lt;h3&gt;What You will Learn?&lt;/h3&gt;
            You&amp;rsquo;ll learn vital skills that enable you to create conditions where people speak with complete candor (no matter&lt;br /&gt;
            the topic) and with complete respect (no matter the person or their position). You will be able to:&lt;br /&gt;
            1. Spot when conversations become crucial&lt;br /&gt;
