The necessary conversation
Have you ever been concerned about an employee and hesitated having the conversation? In this course, you will get to know the CEO, Morten Skogsrud. You will take part in how he plans and conducts a conversation with an employee whom he suspects is drinking too much. He shares his reflections and doubts, and we deliberately let him fall into some traps so that you can avoid them. Along the way, you will receive specific advice that enable you to plan and conduct conversations based on concern.
Akan turns 60 and offers a 60% discount on the Conversation Course until the end of the year. The price is now only NOK 760 per course access (previously NOK 1900).

Become more confident
Even though the necessary conversation primarily revolves around discussions related to problematic use of alcohol, drugs, medications, gambling, and doping, the techniques can transfer into other conversations that many leaders hesitate to engage in. The key is to become confident enough to initiate discussions at an early stage, preventing them from evolving into serious personnel issues. Because if you don't have the conversation, who will?
The course takes approximately 60 minutes to complete. For the best experience, we recommend using a laptop rather than a mobile device. Following the course, participants can gather to reflect and practice on specific dilemmas with the assistance of Akan advisory center.
