The first step is for people just to understand the difference between facts and stories. How do you make it safe to talk about almost anything to almost anyone? Most of us believe that they can predict the likely outcome of a crucial conversation based on its content. The controlling variable for the success or failure of your crucial conversation is not how risky the issue is.
Are there high-stakes conversations in your life that you need to have but are putting off?
This week I welcome special guest Joseph Grenny, one of the authors of the bestselling book, Crucial Conversations.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why silence is the most significant communication error we make
- The cost of not speaking up
- How to make it safe to talk about almost anything with almost anyone
Joseph's insight and experience will help you have better conversations about what matters most with those who matter most.
