How to Win-Win Any Difficult Conversation
Learn to navigate hard conversations with confidence.
Say what you want and feel heard.
Imagine going into a difficult conversation
with your parent, partner, adult children, client, colleague or service provider.
Your difficult conversation might be with a doctor about a new diagnosis, a spouse about your marriage, a parent about whether she is still safe driving, or a manager to ask for a raise.
Now imagine going in feeling confident of a good outcome for all parties.
That’d be a game changer, right?
Imagine participating in a trio of conversations via Zoom
with a facilitator and a handful of other women that would:
- Give you the confidence to have that difficult conversation
- Validate that your wants and needs matter
- Teach you a framework for your difficult conversation
- Help you listen from a position of curiosity and objectivity, and
- Give you strategies to make your communication more effective
"I enrolled in Debra Woog's "How to Win-Win Any Difficult Conversation" course as a gift to myself. This course went beyond my expectations and provided me with information, tools and practice I am now using in my day-to-day life. Debra's expertise, caring, compassion and ability to create community, combined with content, role-playing and strategy for participants, yielded the perfect mix of theory and practice. One thing Debra said stays with me, "We don't have to handle difficult conversations alone". Ahhhh! Reviewing the types of difficult conversations in communities, learning about strategies to succeed, planning the tools to use, maintaining curiosity, and practicing were all so helpful. Highly recommend this course! Thank you, Debra, for your guidance."

"I took Debra’s How to Win-Win Any Difficult Conversation Zoom course a couple of months ago and it changed the way I think about and handle conversations I used to want to avoid. Her simple, clear steps break things down so I can get to the heart of what I want out of a conversation, and understand where the other party is coming from too. With her approach I am not distracted by emotion or old patterns that leave things unspoken or unresolved. Instead, I can own my intentions, plan for the greatest good of all and speak in a way that allows me to be heard.”
