Candid Conflict Conversation Made Easy
You can listen to the full podcast episode here:
Are you someone who tends to avoid the difficult conversations with others? Maybe you are way more interested in keeping the peace over rocking the boat, even if staying quiet is negatively affecting your work or personal life. Having confrontational conversations with someone can be tough, emotional, and uncomfortable. However, I would argue that avoiding these conversations costs you more. Your ability to engage in difficult conversations is directly proportional to the quality of your relationships, fulfillment of your aspirations, and successful navigation of your career.
As humans, we defer from these candid conversations for many reasons. For example, we don’t want to risk making another person uncomfortable or unhappy. Perhaps you worry that it will hurt your career or destroy someone else’s opinion of you. In reality, not confronting can hurt your relationships and career in another way. Your voice is your most valuable asset and not using it could hurt your confidence and impact long-term. The most important thing to remember is that with a bit of intention, it is absolutely possible to effectively talk out disagreements and walk away with a positive outcome. Let me show you how my clients and I do this remarkably easily and well!
In this episode I share:
- A personal story of when I learned how to use intention in my communication, despite feeling uncomfortable
- Ways that you can reroute your resistance to allowing others to be unhappy
- Using the acronym VOICE to make conflict conversation easy
- Why transparency and intention is vital in communication
- Examples of language to use during challenging conversations to avoid the need for the fight or flight response
- What happens when we have a breakdown in communication
