MSLs: Expertly manage your challenging conversations - Medical Science Liaison Association

Masterclass Details:

Arguably the number one skill for Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) to enhance both personal and business effectiveness is the ability to handle difficult conversations.

Expert MSLs don’t just manage tension during these high-stakes discussions – they see them as opportunities for growth, collaboration and innovation. However, even with the best intentions, emotional triggers and underlying fears can derail conversations, leading to suboptimal outcomes.

Join Lee Hallworth, Co-Founder and Director at Vercium, for this transformative 60-minute masterclass. Discover essential tools and strategies to boost your emotional intelligence (EQ), refine your communication approach, and turn challenging conversations into opportunities for meaningful and lasting impact.

Key Learning Objectives:

Develop emotional intelligence (EQ) with actionable tips and tools for managing challenging conversations
Learn strategies to reduce emotional triggers and prevent ‘amygdala hijacking’
Check your perceptions and assumptions to foster a growth mindset
Use empathy and curiosity to shift from threat-based to opportunity-based thinking
