Day 2: Leading Difficult Conversations

The Leadership Basics Day 2 has presenter Maja Djikic guiding a workshop on leading difficult conversations during challenging times.  This session will focus on learning how communicate effectively, followed by group work on challenging situations.  

“The management of tension, conflict, ambiguity, and radical difference between ourselves and others is one of the core skill sets of competent executives. Leadership requires ability to build consensus and execute timely action with others who may hold different perspectives.  Times of disruption, like the current COVID pandemic, require a concerted action around a collaborative outcome and highlight the need to build the skills of establishing trust, conflict de-escalation, and conflict resolution. This workshop will help participants map, understand, and, where applicable re-design how they communicate and relate to others in difficult interpersonal situations.”

“Maja is a psychologist specializing in the field of personality development. Her work examines the means of developing a congruent and flexible self. She teaches at Rotman, executives in Advanced Health Leadership Program, UHN’s Academic Hospital Leadership Academy, EMBA for Health and life Sciences and the Sunnybrook Leadership Institute.”
