This workshop is for you if you want to handle tense, emotional, or high-pressure conversations at work without feeling overwhelmed, apologetic, or unsure of what to say.

It’s not about debates, arguments, or public speaking.

It’s about how you show up in real workplace moments like one-to-ones, performance reviews, meetings or situations where stakes are high, so you communicate your perspective clearly and calmly while maintaining authority and presence.

In this small, supportive session, you’ll practise practical, grounded techniques to respond effectively, stay composed, and manage reactions, even when conversations are challenging.

Who you’ll become

After this workshop, you’ll become someone who:

• navigates tense conversations without losing composure

• communicates your perspective clearly, even under pressure

• responds calmly to pushback, interruptions, or emotional reactions

• maintains authority and presence in difficult moments

• feels confident addressing challenging topics without overthinking

• takes space at work with poise and clarity

Not louder. Not more “polished”.

Just more you, without the internal noise getting in the way.

What we’ll work on

We’ll explore simple techniques for:

• handling questions or challenges calmly and assertively

• responding without over-explaining or apologising

• speaking when emotions are present without escalating tension

• turning difficult conversations into productive outcomes

Everything is conversational, grounded, and practical.

How the session works

• Small group (maximum 5 people)

• Coaching-led, not a lecture

• Gentle, real-world practice, no pressure to perform

• Seated, conversational exercises rather than standing up or presenting

You’ll be supported throughout and encouraged to work at your own pace.

Who this is for

This workshop is ideal if you:

• struggle to stay composed in tense or emotional discussions

• worry about saying the wrong thing or losing authority

• overthink conversations after they’ve happened

• want to feel calmer, clearer, and more confident in challenging moments

You don’t need to be confident already. You just need to want things to feel easier.
