Conversations That Move People Forward
Leadership begins in conversation. Every exchange between a leader and an employee has the power to ignite performance, build trust, and strengthen accountability—or to do just the opposite. That’s why Slingshot25 created Conversations That Move People Forward, a transformational one-day, in-person experience that helps leaders turn everyday interactions into a lasting foundation of their leadership.Leadership is a conversation.
Yip, we said it. Leadership is a conversation. The mindset and methods leaders bring to a conversation with an employee have a substantial, immediate impact on that employee’s performance. Through everyday conversations with employees, leaders can inspire or stifle performance, create or kill accountability, and make or break the employee experience.
What does the Conversations course include?
This course gives leaders the mindset, methods, and confidence they need to approach any conversation with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.
During this immersive one-day in-person session, participants gain practical tools and surprising insights that change the way they lead. They’ll explore:
- The four essential skills at the heart of every effective conversation, from impromptu hallway chats to critical feedback moments
- Three powerful coaching practices that turn ordinary conversations into catalysts for performance and growth
- A progressive, human-centered approach to accountability that actually works
- The psychology of confrontation – and how to stay calm, clear, and constructive when emotions run high
- A simple but effective framework for preparing feedback conversations that focus on solutions, not defensiveness
To ensure real behavior change, participants don’t just learn; they practice. Following the session, they’re guided through structured “experiments” designed to help them test new skills in real conversations on the job. These experiments are not disruptive, but they are intentionally challenging, pushing leaders outside their comfort zone to create meaningful change in how they lead through dialogue.
