Wendy Hofford – have that tough conversation


Listen Later

In this interview we talk about tough conversations, team management and how being prepared can help you stop overgiving! We’ll go over some key points like:
 

Learning how to delegate
The importance of having procedures and standard operating procedures
Being open to other people’s thoughts and ideas
Empowering your people
How to tackle tough conversations
The more conversations you avoid the more conversations you will have to have later in order to sort it out
Prepare, execute and the need to follow up
Sounding authentic
Acknowledging other people’s experiences and how that impacts the way they communicate.

 
There’s so much stress when you’re carrying this thing that you know you have to do or you should do but you’d rather not do it because we don’t want to talk to that person. We will walk all the way around the building because we don’t want to have to talk to this person. You’re uncomfortable and it’s time wasted. When you finally have that difficult conversation, when you rip off the band-aid, there’s an actual weight lifted off your shoulders, it’s amazing!
