How To Handle Difficult Conversations

Conflict doesn’t have to derail you. We’ll explore why tough conversations feel so challenging and walk through 4 simple steps to handle them with confidence, clarity, and impact—so you can move from avoidance to action and strengthen trust in the process.

Speaker

Michelle Gilbert knows that leadership gets messy. As Chief Engine Officer of Purple Engine Coaching & Consulting, she helps high-performing leaders tackle their most uncomfortable conversations—the ones that make or break credibility—with confidence, clarity, and impact.

Drawing on her 34-year career in public relations and corporate communications, including 24 years at Fortune 50 companies, Michelle combines deep communication expertise with executive coaching to transform the way leaders handle feedback, delegation, influence, and conflict.

Through coaching, Michelle helps leaders build the confidence to lead authentically, strengthen relationships, and drive meaningful results.

Troy Affinity Group Meeting

The mission of the Inforum Troy Morning Networking Group is to be the one meeting you look forward to attending each month. We are committed to an “apology-free” zone so do not apologize if you’re a few minutes late, or if you need to leave a few minutes early (we’ve ALL been there). Our goal is to be a welcoming, supporting networking group for professional women. The group meets monthly on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m.
