What and how

Do you sometimes feel like a mouse, and do you want to be more visible to your coworkers? Or do you have a colleague who really gets on your nerves and you'd like to find the right way to tell him or her the truth? Or do you just want to be a good colleague and maintain a nice relationship? Given all of the time that you spend in the workplace, it's not a bad idea. This learning journey is for anyone who ever has to have a courageous conversation with a colleague and finds it nerve-racking.

What will I learn?
In this learning journey, you will learn three different methods for approaching a courageous conversation with a colleague. The starting points are:

• Improving the working relationship
• Feeling more comfortable with colleagues
• Putting yourself out there and expressing annoyances

You will learn how to have a courageous conversation with a colleague. Whether it's about a major or minor annoyance, there are a few do's and don'ts to keep in mind. How do you find a good way to say to a colleague that you would appreciate it if he or she would complain less? How do you let a dominant coworker know that he or she should be less overbearing at meetings sometimes? Maybe you're not used to bringing up these kinds of issues with colleagues, but that doesn't mean that you're not bothered by them. In this learning journey, you'll learn what you can do about it without embarrassing yourself or others. You'll learn how you can give someone the time and space to tell his or her story. And how you can use your nonverbal communication and use body language and eye contact. You'll learn how to be assertive and how to give good feedback. It's up to you to make the most of it!

What will I do?
Yes, you're going to have that conversation with your colleague. And you're going to receive the tools to do it.
