Working Conversations

#265: When It’s Time to Stop Avoiding a Hard Conversation


Listen Later

That workplace issue that's been bothering you keeps taking up mental real estate during your commute, in the shower, and when you're trying to fall asleep. You know the feeling - there's this thing at work that's bothering you, but you keep telling yourself it's not really worth making a big deal of. So you let it slide, and then it happens again and again. In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson gives you a clear framework for deciding when it's time to stop ruminating and start talking. She covers the warning signs that you've crossed from minor annoyance to must-address-now, four critical questions to evaluate any situation, and how to recognize when you're hoping others will magically read your mind. She also explains why your friends and family want you to have the conversation more than you realize. If you find yourself complaining about the same workplace issues or losing sleep over situations you're avoiding, this episode is your roadmap to action.
