The Six Stages Framework: Leading with Equity and Empathy

Conversations through the SSF (Six Stages Framework) Lens: Journeys through Equity and Inclusion⁠


Listen Later

What if the challenge in difficult conversations…
is not what’s being said—but what’s happening beneath it?

In this short reflective episode, I share a real conversation with Abena Akuffo- Kelly

and invite you to listen in a different way.

Not to agree or disagree.
But to notice:

👉 how meaning is being made
👉 what might feel uncertain or challenging
👉 and where this might sit on the continuum of understanding

Through the Six Stages Framework, we begin to see that:

Most conflict is not about disagreement…
but difference in understanding.

This episode is a quiet invitation to:

  • pause
  • reflect
  • and listen more deeply

If this resonates, I explore this further in my live master class sessions on Eventbrite.

Many professionals who have attended the SSF training have asked for scripts to help work out what to say in the moment during difficult conversations

So I have been developing resources available on YouTube, Spotify and TikTok.
