The idea of giving hard truth, being “confrontational” and having challenging conversations has historically been difficult for me. Many times, I’ve just tried to avoid them all together. With the world being so sensitive and easily offended by the smallest of things, it is genuinely hard to give radical truth and radical transparency because most just can’t handle it.
In this episode, I cover 3 keys to having difficult conversations, radical truth and transparency, focusing on what you can control, how you can make that conversation a win, and the deadly long term outcome that will manifest if you don’t have these challenging conversations: resentment.
With that being said, this is an ongoing journey from me. This is just one man’s point of view and experience, and this is what I’ve found to work in the long term (not necessarily the short term). Things may be temporarily challenging in the short term with the advice I mentioned here, but I believe it is absolutely in the best interest of the relationship between you and the other person long term.
I hope this brings you a ton of value. Let me know which point resonated most in the comments, and which you are most excited to apply.
And if it brought you enough value, all I ask is that you share this with someone who could use this message. Maybe someone avoiding difficult conversations
