Difficult Conversations Don’t Need to be so Difficult

Have you ever been part of a conversation where everyone is talking, but it doesn’t feel like anyone is listening?

There’s a reason that there are thousands of books, articles, and podcasts on communication. It’s a universal people problem, and it’s one we see all the time when we’re working with teams.

Communication skills are something that you need regardless of what industry you work in. Even if you work in a cube on a computer all day and never have to talk to clients or customers, you still have to communicate with your colleagues, or at the very least your boss.

In order to be successful, you have to find the BALANCE of three C’s to communicate effectively: courage, compassion, and curiosity. You need all three in order to have a conversation that balances what you want or needs with what the other person wants or needs.

Stop Drinking Poison

Think about someone who makes you mad. Who doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain or treats you poorly. Now think about the last time they really made you mad. Got it?

Now that I’ve got you good and mad (you’re welcome!) pay attention to what is happening in your body as you think about them. Is your jaw clenched up? Ears hot? Chest feel tighter? [Read more…]

3 Reasons to Lead with Truth

I really strive to lead with truth in both my personal life and my business. I used to try to portray an image of perfection, but have learned over the years that showing people what lies underneath the surface can be a real opportunity to strengthen relationships and improve my life.

Here are just a few reasons why. [Read more…]

Blindsided or turning a blind eye?

I am being very honest when I say that I was blindsided by my husband’s arrest in 2016. However, I also have to admit that we had a long and complicated history, and so there were things I knew about him that made the events of that spring more likely. [Read more…]
