The Thoughtful Leader Podcast with Ben Brearley

#249: Challenging conversation? Follow these principles.


Listen Later

Many people are looking for one thing: a perfect way to have a challenging conversation without people getting upset or saying the wrong thing.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t exist, and a challenging conversation will always be uncomfortable!

In this episode, I take a look at some principles to apply to challenging conversations, instead of focusing on the perfect preparation or process.
