Emotional Diarrhea

Listen Later

Another riveting read of “Crucial Conversations” where today it was all about Emotional Diarrhea and how to avoid it. Hint: Tell yourself a story.


Episode 177 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Konktown’s discord server: discord.gg/konktown and Clubhouse’s Startup Club House from 8-9am EST. It's free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.


Some of the key highlights from today's session included:

  • Discussing the importance of emotional intelligence and controlling one's emotions in crucial conversations.
  • Explaining how our observations can influence the stories we tell ourselves, which then shape our emotions and actions.
  • Emphasizing the need to rethink and retell our stories to gain control over our emotions.
  • Analyzing scenarios like Maria and Louis's working relationship to understand how stories impact communication outcomes.
  • Recognizing how our own stories can sometimes create realities rather than just describe them.
