Engaging with and Controlling Your Inner Dialogue – Before You Speak! – Halstead
Abstract:
Projects don’t stall because you missed a milestone—they stall when communication breaks down, stress spreads, and even experienced leaders struggle to keep people aligned. If you’ve ever felt stuck—not because you didn’t know the process, but because the people part got messy—this session is for you.
This seminar will help you manage emotional investment without losing connection. During this session, you will learn two pragmatic tools that you will dynamically place into your toolbelt through an engaging exercise. Implementing two tools: the “Caring Dial” and “Over the Shoulder,” you’ll create a customized guide to preserve energy, maintain trust, and deliver on outcomes—even in emotionally charged environments.
- Improve cognitive control during a conversation to maintain composure and say what you mean, in the moment.
- Apply emotional intelligence to increase team trust and stakeholder alignment.
- Use visual frameworks to reframe difficult conversations and lead with composure.
Whether you’re managing a high-stakes initiative or navigating everyday friction, this session will leave you with a sharper vocabulary, stronger presence, and the confidence to lead beyond the plan.
