About this course

When people are working closely together, especially in an industry which is so fast paced like hospitality, it is inevitable that conflict will arise. Having a challenging conversation can cause anxiety and stress for both parties involved. It doesn’t matter if you are working in reception or if you are in a senior leadership meeting, nobody enjoys the prospect of having a challenging conversation. Why? Because they fear the response they may receive.
