When workplace conversations turn difficult, most people either power through and cause damage—or avoid them and let problems fester. In senior care, that’s not an option. This session gives you practical ways to lead high-stakes conversations with residents, staff, and families—especially when cultural expectations and communication styles don’t line up. You’ll learn how to say what needs to be said without making things worse—and walk away with strategies to reduce tension, build trust, and get to clarity faster.

This educational session will be submitted to NAB for 1 CEU. Only individuals pre-registered for the webinar and marked in attendance will be eligible to receive CEUs.
