The Conversations Leaders Delay Most

The Conversations Leaders Delay Most—and Why They Usually Get Worse

9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET
November 19, 2026

Difficult conversations are an unavoidable part of leadership. Whether it’s delivering tough feedback, addressing performance issues, or navigating a conflict with a colleague, leaders often put off the discussions they know they need to have. But avoiding these conversations rarely makes the problem go away. More often, tension builds, misunderstandings grow, and trust erodes.

Join TalentSmartEQ for a practical discussion about why high-stakes conversations can be so challenging and how emotional intelligence helps leaders navigate tension and communicate with greater confidence, clarity and empathy.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • Why leaders avoid difficult conversations
  • How emotions, assumptions, and defensiveness can derail even well-intentioned conversations
  • Practical EQ strategies for preparing for and navigating high-stakes discussions
  • How to deliver feedback that builds accountability without damaging trust
  • Real-world insights into how organizations are equipping leaders to handle difficult conversations more effectively

Whether you’re preparing for year-end performance reviews, managing challenging team dynamics, or simply looking to communicate more effectively, you’ll leave with practical strategies to turn difficult conversations into opportunities for greater clarity, trust, and growth.
