Finding the right words is only part of gracefully navigating difficult conversations; what matters is delving into self-awareness, acknowledging how our past experiences shape our present interactions, and approaching every conversation with openness and honesty. By understanding our biases and triggers, we can better manage our emotions during challenging discussions. Additionally, actively listening and seeking to understand the other person's perspective can foster empathy and create a more productive dialogue.
In this episode, you will gain insights and strategies to maintain your composure and adhere to your deepest values, no matter the direction the conversation takes.
