Peace Through Tough Conversations: Really?
from The Door to Peace · host John Losey/Tom Stephen
Have you ever avoided a tough conversation? Sometimes we fear hurting someone's feelings, so we put off having a direct conversation about a growing problem. Our desire to be "nice" allows that problem to continue unnecessarily. Have you ever been overwhelmed and undone because of the brutal directness of a boss or friend? Some people see themselves as the main character in Jimmy Buffet's song, "Just an Old Truth Teller," who says, "I'm just an old truth tellerBrutally directI see it eye for eyeI'm rarely incorrect." Nice or Brutal? There is a better way to address tough conversations. In this podcast, organizational ecologist John Losey, shares strategies and skills that bring peace to organizations and communities. John uses the lens of candor, kindness and emotional courage. Peace is possible before, during and after a touch conversation. As a business and church consultant, John utilizes a holistic approach to provide organizational development, emotional skills, strategic planning and effective communication. His passion is to guide individuals and organizations to their next best step, towards growth and sustainability.John’s website: https://intowisdomgroup.com/
