In today’s episode, I talk about how to have difficult conversations with someone on your team and share my top 10 tips on how you can make them feel easier. One of the most common questions I get asked by current and potential clients is how to have difficult conversations, as for most leaders these conversations do not come naturally.  I know that difficult conversations can be challenging as you grow and scale your business, but I am here to change that narrative -  these conversations can feel totally normal with practice and time.

I talk about my definition of what a difficult conversation is and the common examples these conversations can involve, from issues like addressing mistakes to giving feedback. I share how it is really important to have these types of conversations regularly to maintain healthy work relationships and productivity with your team.

I share my top 10 tips on how you can make difficult conversations feel easy and normal, for both you and your team. I talk about how you should always be prepared for these conversations and the ways in which you can take different opportunities to dive deeper with your team at various times throughout the day. I share how you can create a safe environment to have difficult conversations, and by being prepared and maintaining curiosity and gratitude, you can turn challenging discussions into opportunities for growth and improvement with your team.
