Difficult Meeting Preparation

Rehearse a concise account, useful questions and steady language before a meeting with a manager, HR or works council.

Prepare the conversation, not a performance

This session is for a known meeting with a manager, HR representative or works council. We clarify your purpose, reduce the history to a short sequence, and develop questions that invite a specific answer. You practise how to pause, ask for written confirmation and avoid agreeing to something you have not understood.

Bring the invitation, agenda, relevant policy and a note of the outcome you would consider workable. We do not script accusations or coach concealment. The aim is a direct, accurate contribution that protects the possibility of further discussion.

What is covered

The hour includes a review of the meeting context, a rehearsal, feedback on wording and a one-page preparation sheet. It does not include document analysis beyond five pages or legal assessment of a proposed agreement. Where you may be asked to sign a settlement, amendment or termination agreement, independent legal advice is the appropriate safeguard.

The fee is €165 including VAT. Sessions take place by video so they can usually be arranged close to the meeting date, subject to availability.
