How to have a tough conversation – navigating conflict in your business: a talk with Meg Lovell
BCI Talk
From uncomfortable conversations around raising fees, to responding to the client with the ever-expanding brief, we all regularly face conflict situations in business that can be the difference between making or losing money, or a functional or frustrating working relationship. In this online talk, we will work through communication methods to address these situations both proactively and reactively, giving you a blueprint for action the next time a tricky situation arises.
This session is for anyone working in the creative sector, from graduates to seasoned professionals. The techniques and strategies discussed will apply equally to those just starting out who need to advocate for themselves, to freelancers and agency owners dealing with demanding clients and challenging colleagues.
Tickets are priced at £20 +VAT for BCI members, and £35 +VAT for non-members. Book your place below!
