5 Conversations

Transforming trust, engagement and performance at work

About 5 Conversations

Our 5 Conversations programme draws on over 35 years of insight and experience working with global leaders and managers. We know exactly what conversations to have to drive better engagement and build trust across your business.

Delivered by The Oxford Group's expert facilitators, 5 Conversations helps managers and leaders have better discussions with their teams, colleagues and stakeholders, whether that's in day to day work or during performance management meetings. 
 

The 5 Conversations

  1. Establishing a trusting relationship
  2. Agreeing mutual expectations
  3. Showing genuine appreciation
  4. Challenging unhelpful behaviour
  5. Building for the future
