We all have to start a difficult conversation at one time or another. Whether it be delivering painful news, harsh truths, or an unpopular opinion. Telling someone something they don’t want to hear can feel intimidating.
How will they respond? What will you say? How can you say what you need to say and preserve a working relationship at the same time?
With technology all around us – technology that prevents us from really communicating with one another – we are rusty when it comes to conversation.
I can help you negotiate that difficult conversation. What would that look like? What if you could, for example, fire someone from their position and at the end of the conversation they thank you because they realize they were never happy there anyway. It’s like that George Clooney movie…what was it called? Up in the Air. Yes, that’s it. Sure, they had a script for the movie, but there is a strategy behind the words. A strategy I can teach you. You will feel more comfortable having difficult conversations, and so will the people you are talking with.
Conversations are only hard when we don’t have a strategy for success. And they don’t teach this stuff in school anymore.
