These conversations are critical to engage in, in a manner that moves relationships forward.

All too often in these circumstances, emotions dictate the mood, much less the words used, which can lead to disastrous outcomes.

Does This Sound Familiar?

  • You've gotten into an argument with someone, and rather than address your concerns with that person, you talk to just about everyone else about it? Also called 'venting'...

  • You tell yourself that you're going to cool off first, and then never, ever go back and have the needed follow-up conversation?

  • Your automatic response is to find fault with the other person, rarely turning the mirror on yourself.

  • You know you need to have a conversation with an employee at work, but instead of taking ownership, you tell them "the boss told me I needed to tell you___".

  • When you've been wronged, however unintentionally, you assume the worst of the other person. Asked another way, how often when you've been hurt, do you assume positive intent?

  • You're determined that the other person / party needs to come to you first. And you don't budge off that point.

Ask yourself how often any of the above behaviors worked...
