The Big Talk with Tricia Brouk

Beyond Safe Topics: Handling Difficult Conversations with Grace and Intention


Listen Later

This week on The Big Talk Podcast, I'm deconstructing a powerful interview between Katie Couric and Laverne Cox that demonstrates what it means to be a truly influential voice when addressing difficult topics. This conversation is a masterclass in handling sensitive subjects with grace, authenticity, and purpose.

In this episode, we'll explore:

  • Why having a platform means having a responsibility to address challenging topics, not just easy ones

  • The difference between performative vulnerability and vulnerability in service of something larger

  • How to prepare for and navigate difficult conversations with respect, dignity, and educational intent

  • The reason brave voices matter more than safe voices, and how addressing controversial topics can strengthen rather than hurt your speaking career
