In Season 3, Episode 9 of the Win Now Podcast, Todd Bookspan (Win by Noon) and Deborah Byrd (Plug and Play SM) break down a simple framework for difficult conversations and leadership feedback, inspired by their interview with Jefferson Fisher, trial attorney and author of The Next Conversation.

If you lead a loan officer team, real estate team, or sales organization, this episode gives you a clear structure for addressing issues directly without escalating emotion. You will learn how to frame the conversation, set an outcome, and get agreement before you go deeper. They also cover how to ask for feedback as a leader and how to build a predictable cadence for accountability so hard conversations do not get avoided until it is too late.
