The Ken Blanchard Companies Releases Conversational Capacity Program
The Californer/10086946

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- The Ken Blanchard Companies®, the global leader in management training and coaching, announced today the release of Conversational Capacity®, a program that teaches people the mindset, process, and skills to have open, balanced, non-defensive dialogue about difficult subjects.

Conversational Capacity incorporates a powerful methodology that teaches people how to engage in constructive, learning-focused dialogue when challenging topics or conflicts arise so they can make informed decisions and find the best solutions, even under high pressure.

The goal of Conversational Capacity is to reach the sweet spot: a place where difficult exchanges turn into learning opportunities and unfocused meetings become innovation incubators.

A solution like Conversational Capacity is desperately needed. Poor communication derails important initiatives, wrecks morale, and torpedoes 20% of projects. Additionally, a 2018 survey of 1,072 United States workers found that 52% reported poor communication had a negative financial effect on their work.

"Having people who are good communicators and listeners is essential if a company is to be agile and profitable. Fortunately, these are skills that can be learned. When people start to master them, workplaces become dynamic and innovation thrives. Productivity and morale also improve because people know how to listen and they know they are heard," said Scott Blanchard, president of The Ken Blanchard Companies.

Conversational Capacity is based on Craig Weber's acclaimed book Conversational Capacity. The technique Weber developed is being used by executives, flight crews, CDC emergency response teams, and Democratic and Republican legislators in over a dozen US states.

"Nothing is more important to our individual or collective effectiveness than the ability to have constructive, learning-focused dialogue under pressure. Conversational capacity should be flashing bright red on the dashboards of everyone responsible for building effective teams and working relationships," added Weber.
