Difficult Conversations: UNPLUGGED!
Having a tough chat might mean dealing with stuff you'd rather avoid, finding yourself at a loss for words, facing conflicting views, not knowing how things will turn out, or just feeling uneasy about the whole thing. So, when I'm helping folks through tough talks, we're usually gunning for one of three things: a solution, a plan, or just getting each other. A solution is like the big win, where everyone's happy, all problems are solved, and it's supposed to last forever. Sounds great, right? But sometimes, pushing for that perfect fix can actually make things worse by piling too much pressure on already strained relationships. A plan, though, that's a bit more down-to-earth. It's like a roadmap to a solution. It keeps things flexible, gives us a way forward, and helps us redefine how we relate to each other with new rules and expectations. But honestly, especially in the beginning, the most realistic goal is just understanding each other. It's about really getting where the other person is coming from, understanding their feelings, fears, and dreams. Getting to that point can be a huge relief and set the stage for making a plan, finding a solution, and building a better relationship.
Let’s unplug these tough convos and learn how to navigate through them without difficulty!
Now, after 25 years of training folks in communication skills, I've noticed a common thread. It's not that people are bad at communicating because they're inherently bad at it. Nah. It's more about the disconnect between what they're saying and who they truly are. Tune in to find out how to bridge that gap and become a communication champ!
