Becoming You with Suzy Welch

How to Tell the Hard Truth…More Easily


Listen Later

What would you prefer to hear in life — a soft lie that makes you feel good but leaves you in the dark about something you’d be better off knowing, or straight-up honesty that may sting at first, but ultimately sets you straight? Let’s be real; it’s not even a choice. Everyone wants to know.

And yet…so many of us struggle with how to tell the truth. Like, really tell it, no fudging around the edges. We worry about seeming mean. We fear getting yelled at. Or we just don’t have the words we think we need.

In this blocking-and-tackling episode of Becoming You, host Suzy Welch has the antidote. It’s the OILS technique, a four-part system which she explains and then demonstrates — twice! — with the help of her daughter, Sophia, one of the podcast’s most popular returning guests. 

Becoming You is, at its heart, a podcast about discovering who you are and then crafting the journey to your purpose. But that path, Suzy notes, can only happen with truth-telling conversations. This episode takes on the “how” of them with a technique that’s simple, effective, and immediately applicable. You could, in fact, use it today. 

Tune in to listen, laugh, and learn. Telling the truth — your truth — may never be quite the same. 

Take Becoming You IRL at the Three-Day Becoming You Intensive this October.
