Uncomfortable situations are unavoidable; but avoiding them often leads to miscommunication, frustration, and stalled progress. Whether it’s giving difficult feedback, setting boundaries, addressing conflict, or saying “no,” discomfort is a natural part of leadership and growth.
This course helps project managers and leaders build the skills to recognize discomfort, understand why it occurs, and navigate challenging situations with clarity and confidence. You’ll explore the physical and emotional signals of discomfort, uncover common reasons we avoid difficult conversations, and learn practical strategies for approaching them with intention and professionalism.
Designed for the realities of project leadership, this course emphasizes staying calm under pressure, managing interpersonal dynamics, and addressing issues directly while maintaining trust and respect. By reframing discomfort as a tool for growth rather than something to avoid, you’ll strengthen your communication, decision-making, and leadership presence.
Throughout the course, you will:
Recognize physical and emotional signs of discomfort and understand their impact
Identify why uncomfortable situations are often avoided and how avoidance affects teams and outcomes
Develop strategies for approaching difficult conversations with confidence and authenticity
Learn the difference between assertive and aggressive communication
Practice tools for giving and receiving feedback, setting boundaries, and managing guilt
Apply leadership strategies to navigate conflict, uncertainty, and change
By blending self-awareness with practical communication tools, this course equips you to face uncomfortable moments head-on, leading to stronger relationships, clearer expectations, and more effective leadership.
