The co-founders' show

Cela vous arrive-t-il d’avoir du mal à aborder certains sujet avec votre associé(e) ?

Du coup vous les évitez. Peut-être que ça n’en parait pas la peine et vous ne voulez pas en faire un plat. Ou par peur de la réaction de l’autre; de secouer une dynamique au demeurant stable.

Le danger de garder certains sujets sous couvert est que ça peut générer de la rancoeur et entretenir des problèmes non réglés, qui peuvent ressortir plus tard de façon non souhaitable.

Dans cet épisode, Lily Gros nous encourage - avec douceur - à sortir de l’évitement et savoir amener les sujets sensibles sur la table avec notre associé(e).

Lily est coach, formatrice et facilitatrice spécialisée dans la communication inter-personelle et sa mission est d'aider les individus, mais également organisations, à prendre soin de leurs liens.

Si le sujet vous anime vous allez adorer la newsletter de Lily “Construire des ponts” qui vous livre 1 mail toutes les deux semaines pour développer vos compétences relationnelles, prendre soin de vous et de voss relations.
