from The Art and Science of Difficult Conversations · host Chris Wong & Lucie Tesarova

If last week was helpful (or if you didn’t watch it, go back now and listen!), this week kicks it up to the next level.  In part 2 of their conversation with Laura Morgan, she helps us navigate some tricky situations: -          What if someone is yelling at you? -          What if they start crying? -          What if they’re using crying intentionally to manipulate and get out of consequences? -          What if they keep harping on “how things used to be”? Laura is the real deal, and she gives us some great strategies to navigate the hardest situations.
