Curious how to navigate complicated conversations with clarity and compassion? Join Shawna Rodrigues on The Grit Show as she continues the conversation she started last week and provides the next two phases of the roadmap to approaching difficult discussions with confidence. We'll touch on the importance of anticipating the perspectives of others and understanding how fear and uncertainty impact conversations. Listeners are taken through practical steps to anticipate obstacles, fears, and self-interests to help prepare for these conversations. The episode also focuses on the pivotal aspect of delivery, where Shawna introduces the concept of keeping it "CUSH" - a powerful acronym encapsulating strategies for clear communication and connection. With relatable anecdotes and practical tips, this episode equips listeners with the tools to approach difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.

Shawna Rodrigues left her award-winning career in the public sector in 2019 and after launching The Grit Show, soon learned the abysmal fact that women hosted only 27% of podcasts. This led to the founding of the Authentic Connections Podcast Network intent on raising that number by 10% in five years- 37 by 27. Because really, shouldn’t it be closer to 50%? She now focuses on helping purpose driven solopreneurs find their ideal clients through podcasting. She believes that the first step is guesting on podcasts - check out her tip sheet and once you've built your business and are ready for the full-service support for podcasting production and mentoring, she'll help you launch the podcast you were meant for. She still finds a little time for her pursuits as a best-selling author and shares the hosting of Author Express, a podcast that features the voice behind the pages of your favorite book.
