Difficult Conversations

Needs: 45-60 minutes

Prepare for a conversation you’ve been avoiding. You settle your body, decide what the conversation is really about, look at it from both sides, check the story you’re telling yourself, plan an opening that feels safe, prepare to listen and stay steady, and agree on what happens next.

  • At work: Use it before giving hard feedback, raising a missed commitment, disagreeing with a peer or your boss, or delivering news people won’t like.

  • At home: Use it before a conversation with a partner, family member or friend about something that keeps hurting or keeps coming back.
