In Episode 30, Meredith goes into simple strategies for influencing other people in toxic workplace situations, conflict, and pressure. Often we think that if we share our perspective or our expertise, other people will listen and learn from that, but the realities of having true impact or influence are often much different. In this episode, Meredith talks about the three strategies we can all implement that make a difference to de-escalate and engage people in ways that lead to true influence. If you’ve ever felt like you were being completely reasonable in clarifying your experience and seen it lead to a conversation you had no idea was coming, this one is for you.
