How to be Real, Authentic, and get Personal without Getting Hurt

23 minutes

Have you ever felt like your confidence was broken, or you were betrayed when you shared something personal with a friend? There are strategies to implement with your Tribe to ensure secret keeping. You can be real, share your heart and be fully known by your Tribe and have a soft place to fall when you need support.

Recap of steps outlined in podcast:
There are five key elements of an up-front contract.
1. Purpose: Explain why you want to have this conversation.
2. Other person's expectations: As best you can, make sure you know what the other person wants and expects. If you don’t, ask.
3. Your expectations: At the same time, they need to know what you want and expect out of the talk. This should include anything you might need from them.
4. Time and logistics: Allow enough time to share this deep conversation in private. Preferably face to face.
5. Outcome: What should happen at the end of the conversation? They should know what to expect from you. They should also know what you would like to see/have from them.
