Some great news! This episode is brought to you by ParentTV.com!

This is one of those "I've just got a feeling" situations when you come away from a conversation and something just isn't right.

The tip is talk about it, straight away, making sure you've got a curious mindset.

Here are our favourite questions to ask in these situations:

•I just had a feeling during today's meeting you weren't quite yourself...is everything OK?

•I noticed that you seemed , are you OK?

•It seemed like you were holding back a bit during the conversation about , what worries you the most about it?

•When was talking in this morning's meeting, you reacted quite strongly and we didn't get a chance to talk about it on the call...I'm curious about what prompted your reaction?

Today's episode is dedicated to what to do when people dial up the hope and certainty in highly uncertain times.

Here are our two tips from today's episode:

•As the receiver of the information, think self-preservation

•As the giver of the information, don't forget that the receiver might be in a different spot than you are to receive your message. Instead of being absolute, try presenting your ambition in the context of three scenarios (Most pessimistic, middle of the road and highly optimistic)

How can you help to make sure decisions are made when you feel stuck in an endless cycle of meetings?

We think a solid start is to set the meeting up for success:

•Allow a few minutes to let people re-read the 'pre-read' documents - don't assume they've been read!

•Start the meeting with, 'this meeting will be successful if...[add decision to be made here]

•As leaders, be vigilant to the idea that there is often a decision that needs to be made (even if it's not obvious) and that others stall if you don't make a decision
