"If you ever go into a tough conversation and you don't feel that pull in your stomach, that tightness or shortness of breath, then I don't think you're actually entering it with a spirit of openness. Every conversation should include giving and receiving. Even if you're the boss, you should be able to receive in a conversation of any magnitude."
Today we're joined by Jeff Schiefelbein, culture building expert and managing partner at Undivided Life, to explore how to have difficult but transformative conversations. In our discussion, Jeff shares invaluable insights about:
- Why tough conversations are essential for healthy relationships
- The importance of humility when delivering hard messages
- How to maintain dignity and respect even in termination conversations
- Breaking free from the need to "win" arguments
- Practical ways to set the stage for difficult discussions
- The role of truth-telling in authentic relationships
- Finding the courage to speak up while staying charitable
This is a vital conversation about having the hard discussions that lead to growth and renewal.
