Those toughest talks to have with someone important to us, are usually the most difficult and emotional ones to have, and thus we avoid them, put them off, and often hate having them! If we do end up forced to have the conversation, we can rush in, emotions flying high and all around, with fingers pointing and feeling like we need to defend ourselves and run out fast!
I was invited to share some ideas around how to have these important conversations more productively, graciously and with skill, on the delightful podcast “Lemons and Pineapples” hosted by the equally delightful, and no-nonsense coach, Emma O’Brien.
