Introduction

The “elephant in the room” describes a situation or an issue that's obvious or noticeable, but it's not being addressed or discussed. For example: Someone on the team is habitually late to strategy meetings. Missing deadlines. Being a naysayer, etc. 

Areas Covered In The Webinar

• Assume people are willing to change if they knew their behavior was an issue or they knew how to change it
• Determine the outcome you desire
• Approach the person as a concerned person, friend/colleague, not a foe or authoritarian
• Focus only on what actually transpired, not how you interpreted it
• Discuss and Agree on a plan of action

You will learn how to address such issues with tact, empathy and clarity. This webinar helps increase productivity and improve relationships by addressing problems, conflicts or misunderstandings proactively.

Why should you attend?

Research reveals that 56% of people bottle-up workplace, family and friends grievances for more than a year without addressing it. It is amazing the pain and frustration many people are willing to endure to avoid voicing concerns; whether it’s agonizing over the issue, working around the issue or talking about it with everyone except the person(s) involved. Ironically, when you allow the issue to continue, you are part of the problem. Keep that in mind. Everyone in a discussion has the responsibility to address or give ‘the elephant’ in the room an opportunity to change to create harmony and cohesiveness. 

Who Will Benefit
