    Accountability has mixed associations for most people. Leaders recognize how important accountability is for consistency, trust, performance, and quality. Yet, the idea of “holding someone accountable,” has an adversarial feel and invites resistance. This dilemma adds a lot of pressure to daily behavior and performance conversations.

    Leaders who want to increase engagement and productivity must master accountability conversations. These are a significant part of the relationship between employees and leaders, which accounts for up to 70% of the variance in job satisfaction and retention.

    Mastering accountability conversations requires leaders to avoid three common traps; giving in, giving unsolicited advice, and giving ultimatums. Despite having good intentions, each trap invites negative drama. Each trap is rooted in the failure to recognize the difference between accountability and responsibility.

    In this highly experiential workshop, participants will learn how to identify and avoid their own most common traps by using an evidence-based accountability conversation template. Participants will apply the template to craft healthy and productive accountability conversations that build relationships and get results. Participants will leave this workshop with greater clarity around their role and increased confidence to negotiate difficult conversations for positive outcomes.

    Bonus: All participants will have the opportunity to experience Next Element's Compassionate Accountability Assessment and receive their own Comprehensive Insights Report.

    Learning Objectives

    1. Identify what works and what doesn’t when you have accountability conversations.

    2. Describe three common traps leaders fall into when having accountability conversations.

    3. Identify your most common trap and the consequences for you as a leader.

    4. Apply an accountability conversation template to craft conversation starters for situations where you need it most.

    This interactive program is designed for trainers who specialize in leadership, communication, or teamwork. It introduces a simple yet powerful model based on four core communication styles. You will learn practical strategies to enhance connection and engagement—especially with challenging trainees.

    Through the use of this model, trainers will see how to help leaders: increase clarity, reduce misunderstandings, and foster stronger workplace connections—leading to higher engagement, productivity, and retention. When communication styles go unrecognized, misinterpretation and frustration can derail a team. This program equips trainers with the tools to bridge communication gaps, adapt their delivery, and help their learners become more effective communicators and leaders.

    Key Learning Outcomes

    Trainers (and later their learners) will gain insights into and practical strategies to:

    • Recognize and respond to diverse communication styles for stronger engagement.

    • Correct Misinterpretations – Understand how they may be misreading others' communication and behavior.

    • Clarify Their Own Communication – Identify ways their style may cause confusion or frustration for others.

    • Strengthen Connections and Engagement – Tailor their approach to build rapport and improve communication.

    Interactive discussions will highlight these style differences and provide opportunities to explore practical application back on the job. 

    Special Bonus:

    All participants who keep their cameras on (mostly) will be able to sign up to take the assessment for free at the end of the program and receive a personalized report about their communication style. Two winners will get a free 30-minute consultation with Alan about how they can build communication styles into their existing programs.
