Straight Talk is the skilful alternative to biting your lip or speaking out in anger

basisWe all face difficult conversations!

  • Talking to an employee about poor performance
  • Disagreeing with your manager
  • Clearing the air with a friend who has let you down
  • Confronting a toxic colleague who's driving you crazy
  • Talking to your mother-in-law...about almost anything!

 Most of us make the same mistakes!

  • You delay the conversation for as long as possible
  • You go in blaming and accusing, knowing you're in the right
  • You assume you have all the facts
  • You're certain of what you want even before you have the conversation
  • You feel so strongly about the issue you tend to get emotional

How often do you end up in a situation that feels more like a street fight than a conversation?
