Fierce Conversations^® helps you develop the skills to confront and resolve your toughest challenge. It shows you how to continually learn and how to enrich your relationships by focusing on the conversations you have in your daily life. You’ll master team conversations, coaching conversations, confronting conversations and delegation conversations.

The simplest definition of a Fierce Conversation is one that reveals our real selves and the issues we face. So we make the conversation candid and worthwhile. While many fear such real conversations, it is the unreal conversations that ought to concern us because they are incredibly expensive, both in time wasted and the opportunities that are thrown away to change things for the good. Once you pursue candour - practised with intelligence, passion and skill - your possibilities will be expanded. This new candour will fundamentally change you and your organization.

In the workshop you will address the seven principles of Fierce Conversations and how they can transform your career and organization:

• Master the courage to interrogate reality®
• Come out from behind yourself, into the conversation, and make it real®
• Be here, prepared to be nowhere else®
• Tackle your toughest challenge today®
• Obey your instincts®
• Take responsibility for your emotional wake®
• Let silence do the heavy lifting® 

A Fierce programme helps delegates achieve a working environment that values initiative, agility and risk taking. It will focus you on results and proper accountability; with initiatives that are implemented. Many other benefits include improved ability to attract and retain customers, more effective staff management and improved confrontation of attitude, performance or behavioural issues. Fierce is used around the world to develop globally competitive leaders

Fierce Accountability as a desire to take responsibility for results; a bias towards solution, action. It is an attitude, a personal, private, non-negotiable choice about how to live your life.

Fierce Accountability is based on the foundations of Fierce Conversations®: Interrogate Reality, Provoke Learning,
Tackle Tough Issues and Enrich Relationships. Fierce Accountability teaches leaders how to create a culture where
people choose personal accountability as a way of life, delivering agreed-upon results, despite obstacles.

Accountability is the single most powerful, most desired, yet least understood characteristic of a successful environment. “Holding people accountable” generates tension, yet without accountability, time and energy is spent generating excuses about why something did or did not happen. It’s human nature to blame other people or circumstances for our problems.

Individuals, teams and organisations pay a high price for this behaviour. Strategies adopted in reaction to this behaviour result in solutions that are
half-hearted, safe, passive and diluted. Worse yet, sometimes the result is no action at all.

We beleive our context (beliefs, attitudes, opinions, “truths”) determines how we experience the content of our lives. This workshop is designed to help participants recognize the cost of blaming, protecting, defending and playing it safe. In contrast, the advantages of taking responsibility for their lives, relationships, challenges and results become clear. Participants develop a new context about accountability, one in which they welcome responsibility.

Outcomes:

• Increased productivity, satisfaction, and job enjoyment regardless of challenging constraints
• Effective responses to those who have a context of blame, protection or defense
• Skills to build a culture of accountability within a team or organisation
