In 30 minutes, here on LinkedIn, we’ll get into the conversations leaders avoid, what they actually are, why we dodge them, the new psychosocial safety landscape that’s making “I’ll deal with it later” a legal problem, and the practical skills to walk in next week and just… have the conversation.

What we’re covering:
– Courageous conversations, what they are, why we avoid them, and why your team needs you to stop.
– Psychosocial safety, the legal landscape, the human reality, and your role as a leader (it’s bigger than you think).
– Real skills, real practice, not just theory. We’re actually working through the hard ones.
– Your leadership commitment, you’ll leave with one concrete thing to do differently next week.

Who this is for:
– People leaders, emerging leaders, and HR folks who’d rather build the skill now than learn it the hard way during a formal complaint. Anyone with a conversation on their to-do list that’s been there too long. Recovering conflict avoiders especially welcome.

About your facilitator:
– Brooke Hurt is the Managing Director of Jessie Grace, a recovering conflict avoider, a psychosocial safety nerd, and Chief Conversation Starter. Her superpower is making awkward conversations feel surprisingly doable. Her obsession is the simple truth that mental health is workplace safety. Her fuel is good coffee and leaders who actually want to grow.

Your team is waiting for a leader who doesn’t flinch.
Spoiler: that leader is you
