Acknowledging that difficult conversations can be quite awkward and uncomfortable, Pete and Jen offer up and noodle on some frameworks for navigating them.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • Why might difficult conversations feel intimidating or scary, even?
  • How might you prepare to have a difficult conversation with someone?
  • What kinds of questions and postures will be beneficial to people on both sides of a difficult conversation?
