Uncomfortable Conversations

Speakers: Jenny Boyett and Justin Elam
Length: 2 Parts

Having difficult conversations is something most of us dread, and a lot of us would rather avoid them all together. But having an uncomfortable but necessary conversation has the potential to strengthen our relationship with the person on the other side of the conversation.

So how can we have those types of conversations in the best possible way? Not only are there some best practices to keep in mind during the conversation, there’s also work we need to do before the conversation takes place. In this two-part group study, we’ll share a step-by-step framework you can follow when you face an uncomfortable conversation.
