How to Have Difficult Conversations

This dynamic and practical workshop will empower industry professionals - both leaders and peers — to engage in tough conversations with confidence and clarity.

In the production industry, many people — whether talent, freelancers, or crew - often avoid difficult conversations. The fear of conflict, the impact on relationships, or even concerns over job security can make it tempting to disengage, withdraw, or avoid a crucial discussion. However, the cost of avoiding these conversations can often be greater than addressing them head-on.

This dynamic and practical online workshop will empower industry professionals - both leaders and peers — to engage in tough conversations with confidence and clarity. We’ll explore strategies to navigate these high-stakes dialogues, whether you’re dealing with a crew member, freelancer, talent or any other position.

Led by Lisa Bell, Head Consultant and Founder of Tell Jane, the session will delve into the psychology of tough conversations, offering insights into how our personalities and communication styles impact the way we interact.

You'll leave with actionable tips and tools to handle difficult situations, ultimately helping to foster stronger relationships, enhance collaboration and achieve positive outcomes in your work environment.


This event is open to leaders of UK-based independent production companies and their employees and freelancers.
