Difficult Conversations

How to hold the conversations most people avoid — raising a performance concern, pushing back on an unsafe instruction, clearing the air with a colleague: preparing by separating facts from the story you tell yourself, opening without triggering defensiveness, listening while emotions run high, and closing with agreed next steps that actually happen.
