Mastering Your Stories

Most tough conversations go wrong before a single word is spoken. We tend to rehearse difficult conversations in our own heads first, and that is where a molehill becomes a mountain. In this episode, Ally explores how to master your stories and get ahead of your "head junk", the less than helpful thoughts that derail conversations. You will learn: - Why mastering your stories is the first step in any tough conversation - The iceberg model: conscious thoughts above the waterline, and the much larger unconscious beliefs below it - How beliefs formed in our earliest years, from zero to seven, still shape how we communicate as leaders - Why what you see in someone's behaviour is rarely the whole story - How journaling helps you separate what is real from the story you are telling yourself Ask yourself: is that true?
