181: Tackling Tough Conversations with Paru Radia


Listen Later

Believe it or not, even corporate juggernauts aren't immune to the jitters when it comes time to have some tough conversations.  

Yup, you heard that right. 

From delivering bad news to confronting their teams, it can be hard for even the most seasoned professionals to work up the courage to face a difficult dialogue.  

Luckily for us, Paru Radia, C-Suite Whisperer, execution Ninja, speaker and author is here to give us tips on how to navigate those rocky waters.  

If you ask Paru’s clients what sets her apart, they are likely to respond that not only does she get it, she gets to the root of the problem quickly and provides sound guidance, based on real world experience.   

One of the things we love most about Paru though is that her approach isn’t formulaic. She instead focuses on who her client is and what their actual needs are allowing them take control of their businesses, careers, and lives, while staying true to who they are.  

So, if you struggle with finding the right words for those tricky conversations, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

    Tweetable Comments

  • “Don't self-filter and be apologetic about something. It is what it is. Just be straight that, “oh, okay, this happened” or “oh yes, I messed this up, or “I don't like this or “I don't like that.” 

  • “If you are not confident about the things that you don't like about yourself, you are giving people ammunition to also dislike you. Just own it.” 

  • “Magic happens in momentum.” 

  • “The magic won't happen if something is standing still. You need other things to happen for the reaction to happen, which equates to magic.”
