Let’s make hard conversations not hard. Today’s episode is a continuation of one from a few weeks ago, and is specifically about how to be direct in everyday situations, whether they are happening at home or professionally. It’s an on-ramp, off-ramp method that is comprised of just a few steps so that your relationships are still intact while still defusing the situation.   In this episode, we cover:

• Why being direct may have a bad rap
• The personal development work to do first
• The three steps to the on-ramp process
• How to smoothly off-ramp at the end of the conversation
• The importance to giving yourself time to regulate and calm down first
