September Leadership Development Community of Practice – Turning Triggers into Transformation: A Neuroscience-Based Approach to Difficult Conversations 

February 6, 2025 by Trew Landis

September 25, 2025

9:00 AM – 10:30 AM – Modernwell

This event is limited to 30 participants.

Do you struggle giving or receiving feedback? Do you tend to shy away from conflict? Well practice makes… better! Troy will introduce a powerful tool from the NeuroLeadership Institute that will help you feel more confident preparing before, regulating during, and reflecting after your next difficult conversation.

The interactive session will highlight:

  • What to practice to put yourself and others in a Growth Mindset around change, conflict, or feedback
  • Why seemingly simple conversations can be so stressful
  • How that stress impacts our outputs and collaboration
