ATTEND CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS IN DECEMBER!

Learn to speak up?  No problem! I tell people exactly what they need to hear!

Oh really. And how’s that working for you?
 
Unless you’re trying to get people out of a burning building, you ought to be just as curious about what others have to say.
 
If you have team members jumping ship, family members who are estranged and neighbors who avoid you, reconsider your take-no-prisoners approach.
 
Whenever you're not getting the results you're looking for, it's likely that a crucial conversation is keeping you stuck. Poertner Consulting Group has helped many of Iowa’s businesses gain productivity and effectiveness through the mastery of crucial conversations.
