WHAT PRINCIPALS AND SCHOOL LEADERS ARE SAYING…
Tough Conversations provides insight into what makes the conversations so tough; how to prepare, manage and prosper through those conversations; and then come away feeling energised with an issue resolved and/or a meaningful plan in place. People report feeling much better within themselves when they have this training to draw on; which also means that they don’t feel like they are personally in a firing line anymore! Everyone benefits.
MALCOLM ELLIOT, FORMER PRESIDENT APPA
