My guest for Episode #112 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Brian Buck, a “success curator” who helps people have masterful communication & powerful relationships so they achieve amazing results — transformational coach for small- and medium-sized businesses. He's also co-host of the "People, Purpose and Profits Business Coaching" show on YouTube -- and it's also a podcast.

In today's episode, Brian shares his “favorite mistake” story about waiting too long to address being in a good workplace that turned toxic. Why was this his “darkest moment”? Why was this all a “never again moment” for Brian?

We talk about that and other topics including:

  • Leaders were undermining everything, passive aggressive
  • They were little things… Brian said “I can handle it” — but it kept going
  • Can you believe leaders when they say things like:“This is a safe place to talk”
  • “My door is always open”
    “I’m not political”
  • How to have empathy for managers
  • Bringing up elephants in the room without being a jerk
  • Non-violent communication
  • The book Crucial Conversations
  • Find Brian on Social Media:
