Difficult Conversations

Do you lack the courage to initiate difficult conversations with your co-writer, producer, network/studio executive, editor?

Are you unsure how to ask for the compensation you deserve, give sensitive feedback or talk about the deal?

This interactive workshop with Certified Career Coach/Consultant Jim Arnoff will give you insight on what it takes to start that conversation, maintain courage and come out with a progressive result. It’s all about confidence, trust, authenticity and knowing that tough talks are really about creating a stronger connection. This workshop will give you specific tools to frame the conversation, choose empowering words, listen in a more empathetic way and come away with deeper respect for each other.
