We all have conversations we know we should have, but keep putting off. Maybe it feels too small to bring up, or we worry that saying something will only make it worse. But avoiding the conversation…
Priya ParkerGuestMolly FletcherHostThis is where we uncover the mindset, habits, and lessons behind high performance from some of the world's top athletes, coaches, leaders, and thinkers.
I had one of those moments recently where someone said something that really didn't sit well, and the conversation felt weird.
And technically, I mean, it really wasn't a big deal, but I also thought if I don't talk about it, if we don't talk about it, I'm probably just going to keep talking about it in my own head.
And so I reached back out to her and I said, you know, that was sort of a strange conversation.
And there was a couple of things that I just wanted to make sure that we connected on, because the worst thing I would want them to become is bigger than they really need to be.
I mean, it was a little strange out of the chute, but the truth is when we hung up, we were even more connected.
And it reminded me why I always say that if you want a problem to get really good, just put it in a Petri dish, set it aside and just kind of watch it grow.
Priya is a conflict resolution facilitator and her new book, The Art of Fighting, explores how to have healthy conflict and come out better on the other side.
We talk about how to approach a difficult conversation and how to deal with the little things before they become big things.
And Priya gives us some really practical tools that you can use with coworkers or friends and even family members.
And so as you listen, think about one conversation that you know you need to have.
