    Whether you’re a business owner, manager, or supervisor, difficult conversations are part of leadership, yet few of us are taught how to navigate them well. This interactive workshop will help you approach feedback, miscommunication, and conflict with greater clarity and confidence.

    We’ll explore real-world challenges like broken agreements, tense or avoided conversations, and team misunderstandings that quietly erode trust and productivity. Candice will share a simple, proven framework for resolving conflict that helps you stay grounded, listen deeply, and communicate in ways that strengthen relationships rather than strain them.

    You’ll leave with tools and language you can use immediately to turn uncomfortable conversations into opportunities for alignment, accountability, and connection.

    Coffee, tea, and breakfast pastries will be served at the start of the event.
