2015-Global-Leadership-Summit4
The 2015 annual Global Leadership Summit was phenomenal; broadcast to 300+ US locations, then to 120 countries it will reach 240,000 participants worldwide.

The lessons shared were universal in application for every type and size of organization – participants were from for profit, nonprofit, public and private, NGO’s, government, and ministry.

Kerry Patterson, author of Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When the Stakes Are High, shows people how to communicate to obtain healthy results: think before speaking, be aware of the context and conditions of a discussion, and maintain respect even when disagreeing. These skills are essential for individual, family, and organizational success. Individuals and groups should learn to:

  • Focus on goals when emotions run strong;
  • Increase awareness of warning signs that a conversation is about to take a turn for the worse;
  • Make it safe to talk about anything;
  • Create healthy dialogue even when scared, angry, frustrated or hurt;
  • Say potentially hurtful things in a way that minimizes defensiveness;
  • Listen effectively when others blow up or clam up;
  • Move from discussing tough issues to taking healthy action
