How about turning these moments—the last 8% and most difficult part of the discussion—into an opportunity for you to build your brand and be remembered? Have you ever thought to yourself: "I should've said that" or "Wow, I blew it and should have really said my truth”? You're not alone. Most people get close to resolving conflicts or complex decisions and then back off at the last minute. Our platform at Unmute Yourself – The Podcast is all about how to make sure we are heard and how to speak up for ourselves. Today we turn the tables and talk about how as a leader, a parent, a partner, and as a human being you can make sure people feel heard and valued. How to create a culture of courage and connection, which is really what psychological safety is all about. Today we go deep and tap into: Why is it so much harder for some of us to unmute ourselves at home? Discovering if you are an avoider or a mess-maker Understand why up to 77% of women avoid the last 8% of a crucial conversation and why that number is almost as high for men. My very special guest, Bill Benjamin, is with the Institute for Health and Human Performance, and today he talks with us about emotional intelligence and how to master this “last 8%." Bill shares the tools and training he has used with NASA, Marriott, Intel, United Airlines, and even with his own kids when handling emotions in high-stakes conversations. Buckle up, Podsters, and get ready to truly unmute yourself when it matters the most.
