How to

Win-Win

Any Difficult Conversation

Video Course

Learn to navigate hard conversations with confidence. 

Say what you want. Feel heard.

Think of a conversation you’re dreading.

Perhaps you need to discuss something important with a parent, partner, or child. Perhaps you need information from a service provider, or to negotiate with a client, boss, or colleague.


Your might need to speak with a doctor about a new diagnosis, a spouse about your marriage, an elderly parent about whether she is still safe driving, or a manager to ask for a raise.

How do you feel? 
How does your body respond?
What thoughts fill your mind?


For many people, emotional responses to an anticipated difficult conversation include fear, anger, hopelessness and loneliness.

Some experience a sense of panic, an accelerated heart rate, or an adrenaline rush triggered by the fight or flight response. Some freeze. Thoughts may come up like "I don't want to have to do this alone!" or "I shouldn't have to deal with this right now!"

While all of these thoughts and feelings are understandable, none of them help lay the groundwork for a successful outcome.

Wouldn't you rather walk into a difficult conversation feeling confident that all parties will benefit?  

You can learn the skills and develop the mindset to…

  • Clearly say or ask for what you want
  • Move through resistance and challenging responses
  • Stay calm and focused throughout

Having taught this content throughout my career as an organizational change consultant and leadership coach to hundreds of people, I know the How to Win-Win Any Difficult Conversation™ strategies make all the difference in feeling heard, getting results, and relieving stress and overwhelm.

Now, through my new online video course, you can learn all these concepts and tools in under an hour, on your own schedule. Even better, you can go back to each module to review the material whenever you want a refresher.

"I took Debra’s How to Win-Win Any Difficult Conversation 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.”
