This conversation reflects the conversations I’m having with so many leaders this year about having challenging, awkward and uncomfortable conversations. I question whether the emotions we feel stem from the reality of the situation or are more a product of our own thoughts, leading to avoidance, sabotage, or justification.

Learn strategies to explore these feelings, to sit with them and gain clarity on whether a conversation is worth stepping into despite the discomfort or if it's one we can consciously choose to step back from.

When a conversation takes the receiver to a deep reflective place (or a place of frustration/annoyance/resistance), your role is to ‘hold the space’, not ‘manage’ the response or the reaction.

Watch here!
