Introduction
We all do it. We avoid those difficult conversations which we need to have, despite knowing that avoiding the conversation means paying a high price. Remember, when negative behaviours are not challenged, they become the norm.
Benefits
Fierce Confrontation® is a confrontation with reality, not the person. It’s a positive and open invitation to explore and understand each other’s perspectives through conversation. A positive engagement with conflict and frustration is a platform to develop trust. Teams which don’t go this extra mile and engage constructively often underperform.
- Address attitudinal, behavioural or performance issues head-on
- Learn strategies to confront tough issues with confidence and skill
- Clarify what is at stake if nothing changes
- Enrich relationships through honest, respectful discussion
- Improve collaboration and results

‘Fierce has given us the ‘permission’ we need to change behaviors and the tools we need to make it happen. The quality of conversations is improving and leading to innovation and change.’ – Tiffany Austin, Symetra
