Many of these tactics that amyis suggesting are the tactics negotiators use when they are trying to negotiate, like a cease fire might like between warring nations. So i had hoped that the scandal sal e fi approach it professionally. But like you mentioned, i shut down when things like this happen. And i don't want, i i don't know what to do next. That's good advice, where i can ask questions. Right now, what happens is something, she says something, I shut down, and like not dealing with this undone ril. ...I need to remember that, ind practise that, so that at least i have some space to have a discussion"

Say someone on your team who had previously been friendly turns on you and is now making your life miserable and collaboration nearly impossible. Maybe they won’t respond to your emails or even look you in the eye?

This is the distressing situation that “Cindy,” a listener of Conferences for Women’s Women Amplified podcast, found herself in. Host Celeste Headlee, invited Amy Gallo on to help give Cindy advice as part of the show’s series “That’s a Good Question.” Cindy talks to Celeste and Amy about how she doesn’t even know what’s causing the tension. She can’t get answers from her colleague and doesn’t know how to continue working with someone who’s being so difficult.

The approaches that come out of the conversation are ones that anyone facing tension in a work relationship can use to find a way forward.
