I hope all is well. Welcome to the new members of the Your Smart Future Team who have joined us to stay ahead of the game!

No one enjoys having difficult conversations. However those are essential to move forward and avoiding them will only worsen the situation.

It is crucial to continuously improve our skillset in this area. As you can imagine, my program “how to have difficult conversations gracefully to move past conflicts towards collaboration” is one of my most in demand programs.

This month, we will explore some keys to help you be more equipped the next time you have to handle a difficult conversation.

Enjoy, let me know your thoughts on this topic and remember to share this newsletter with friends and colleagues 😊

How to Make Difficult Conversations at Work Meaningful and Effective. Most of us don't know how to prepare and respond to that surprise question: “Can we talk”?
 
All of us have been on the receiving end of a difficult conversation at work, and many have had to deliver a hard message to others. Unless you are totally inhuman, none of these are painless, and we all wish we had some way to make them more meaningful and more effective. We all want to feel good about our work and relationships, and we want others to feel the same way.
