High Stakes Conversations

The Mistake to Avoid With High Stakes Decisions


Listen Later

You're staring at numbers that don't add up, or a calendar that's drowning you, or a partner who feels miles away. The pressure builds. Your chest tightens. And in that moment, you make a call: cut costs, hire fast, threaten to leave. But you're not deciding from clarity. You're reacting from fear, and that difference is costing you more than you realize.


What You'll Learn:
  • How to recognize when you're in a reactive state before you make a costly mistake
  • The two paths to get yourself back to clarity when everything feels urgent
  • Why trying to solve the problem while you're still triggered keeps you stuck
  • What to focus on instead when your mind is screaming at you to fix it now
  • A practical framework to identify your emotion, name your need, and find the right action

Why Listen?

If this is your first time here, welcome. I've spent years working with leaders, teams, and couples on the kinds of conversations that decide what happens next.


Most people avoid those moments. Or they walk into them with good intentions but no skill, and it blows up. What I share here comes straight from the real work: the messy, tense, uncomfortable conversations that actually change things when you handle them right.
