Difficult Conversations Capability Building Specialist – Istanbul

For upcoming Difficult Conversations briefs, we are looking for a strong Capability Building Specialist who can engage professional audiences linked to Istanbul and surrounding markets.

Role Overview

We expect this work to suit trainers who are organised, responsive, and comfortable shaping delivery around business context, participant maturity, and operational realities.

An upcoming client brief requires a capable specialist trainer who can lead Difficult Conversations learning engagements for people managers, supervisors, and team leads across Asia. Success in the role depends on practical facilitation, business relevance, and the ability to help clients build stronger people managers and more effective team leadership.

What You Will Support

The current requirement points to Hybrid delivery and should suit someone comfortable supporting One-Off Assignment projects.

  • Translate complex ideas into practical guidance, examples, and decision-making frameworks that participants can use in the workplace.
  • Support participants with examples, clarifications, and implementation guidance that reduce the gap between theory and day-to-day application.
  • Refine materials where needed so the programme remains current, usable, and appropriate for the target audience.
  • Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.
  • Keep the learning intervention aligned with business priorities, not just topic coverage, so the work delivers visible value to the client.
  • Use practical case studies, scenarios, tools, or workflows to make Difficult Conversations content easier to apply after the session.

What We Are Looking For

Relevant practitioner-level experience in Difficult Conversations; strong facilitation and stakeholder communication; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; able to structure sessions that balance concept, discussion, and application.

  • Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
  • Comfort operating in Hybrid settings and handling the logistical realities of live corporate delivery.
  • A professional background that supports credibility with enterprise, multinational, or client-facing training audiences.
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills, including the ability to explain complex material in a clear and applied way.

Preferred candidates will bring exposure to people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership, along with experience working with managers, professional learners, or client-facing business teams.
