Summary

Explore practical techniques for building trust, influencing others and navigating challenging situations to help drive meaningful workplace outcomes.

You’ll learn:

  • how conversations influence responses to change and engagement
  • practical techniques for handling resistance with confidence
  • ways to turn objections into constructive discussions
  • how to build trust and influence across different stakeholder groups
  • strategies for communicating health and safety messages more effectively
  • how to create positive outcomes from challenging conversations

This session explores the art of conversational jujitsu, helping you understand why people respond the way they do during periods of change and how to structure conversations that encourage buy-in rather than barriers.

It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, gain practical tools you can apply immediately, build confidence in challenging conversations and make your change initiatives more successful.
