Delivering Bad News Compassionately
Description
Bad news is easier to deliver when you have prepared for it. Seven PDF lessons begin with the emotional impact of bad news on the people who receive it, then show how to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally.
Later lessons cover choosing the right time and place, writing clear and compassionate messages, managing emotional responses and following up with support and resources. The last lesson looks at building long-term trust after hard conversations. Exercises appear in most lessons, and some include checklists. After reading, you should be able to plan a difficult conversation and deliver it with care.
Who it is for: managers and professionals who sometimes need to deliver difficult news at work.
