Say It Skillfully® – Holiday family dynamics, being direct but not too much so & asking for a raise

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 55, Laurie, raises a personal challenge—blessed that adult kids are back, but feeling a bit of stress with the full household, with particular concern around how to best support a child struggling at times with their mental health. Then Cyrill, who advises businesses and knows “getting to truth” is vital, inquires about handling excess optimism; how to be direct with executives and ensure no holding back when things aren’t on track (9:15). Roger is keen for advice about bringing up to his boss that his compensation seems significantly below market (24:30). I close with suggestions to help people in a “dominant group” widen their lenses to appreciate what it’s like for those not. Join the show for these conversations as you learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
