37. Mastering Difficult Conversations Today's episode is focused on mastering difficult conversations.  Although it is difficult to have these conversations, it is part of your role, and you are doing what is right for your team and the company. Your team is seeing the lack of performance just as much as you are. Your management is watching to ensure that you are going to handle the issue. Have the courage to hold people accountable, but also remember to have compassion for the person going through it. Most of the time the anticipation of having the conversation is way worse than the actual conversation itself. Just like sitting in traffic, you just need to have the patience to wait, plan out your conversation, go forward and make it happen. The only way to get through difficult conversations is not going around it but going through it. You will be able to both move forward and reach a great outcome. The art of having difficult conversations should always be about creating a win-win situation for all involved. Even if it's not the outcome you originally planned for. In this episode: Is there an art to having difficult conversations? How do you prepare for a difficult conversation? What are all the things that you need to say? How can you say it to help them receive it in the best way? What objections will they have that you can address proactively? What questions can you ask to better understand the situation? What do you think you may be assuming that could be wrong? Do you understand really why they're struggling? What if you assume that they are doing their best, but something is holding them back? Is there something going on in their personal life? Do they need more support from you or additional? Why do some people avoid conflict while others seem to thrive on it? Does it have to do with their personality style, and/or confidence level? What if the person's in the wrong job for them based on their style and strengths? What would you do if someone stated in front of a room of people that you and or your team didn't do what was expected on something?

"Hey, we need to talk..." -- if these words scare you, trust that you're not alone! Whether we're dealing with an underperforming employee, upset with our spouse, or facing issues with a difficult client, we attempt to avoid difficult conversations every day. Healthy relationships are built around communication and transparency, so learning how to navigate tough conversations with less stress and more success can help optimize our relationships.

In the book, Sheila outlines how to navigate tense and emotionally-charged conversations, something we all have to deal with in our lives at one point or another. Tune in to learn the three layers of difficult conversations and how to overcome each one of them, as well as the benefit of telling a third story to start your discussions off on the right foot. You'll also learn how to enhance the skill of receiving feedback by understanding the common initial reactions we all have when receiving negative feedback and how to deal with them in a positive way. Topics Include:  - Getting involved in the Harvard Negotiation Project  - Writing Difficult Conversations  - How has Difficult Conversations been used since its publication?  - Why did she write Thanks For The Feedback?  - What is a difficult conversation?  - Why do we avoid difficult conversations?  - The danger of avoiding difficult conversations - Three layers of difficult conversations  - Lessening blame and accusatory language  - Exploring our emotional patterns  - Anger is a secondary feeling  - Reducing angry reactivity  - Naming emotions vs. being emotional  - Starting from the third story  - Why do we have an issue receiving negative feedback? - Different types of triggers  - Traits of people who are highly sensitive to feedback  - Dealing with triggers and reactions  - And other topics… Sheila Heen is a founder of Triad Consulting Group, a consulting firm dedicated to helping companies of all sizes improve their leadership, collaboration, and conflict management skills.

"When is the best time of the menstrual cycle to have difficult conversations?" I was recently asked this question and today I'm focusing an entire podcast on it. 

 How to handle those difficult conversations around wigs and hair loss.Ann Fox and Joanne Atkinson both join me for this touching discussion around their incredible work with the My New Hair charity. Ann's Mum died of lung cancer when she was 18, and this spurred her on to work in nursing.Similarly Joanne has spent 35 years in cancer care and has a PHD in end of life care after a friend died of leukaemia. They were shocked to find that although they strive to give their patients the best possible care, the aftercare they received when it came to procuring a wig was severely lacking.The ladies decided to get involved in the L'Oreal My New Hair programme, along with Trevor Sorbie, to help educate hairdressers in how best to help cancer patients get a better standard of care and service. They have produced a toolkit to help patients to get a suitable wig and be able to have it fitted and customised.You can contact the charity for leaflets, resources, templates and information for fundraising and support.WebsiteInstagram Connect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcast

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Tessa Misiaszek, coauthor of Branding That Means Business. Tessa is an instructor with Harvard Professional Development Programs, as well as a Professor at Hult International Business School. She brings extensive experience developing human capital strategies to improve business communications. Previously she served as CEO of Empathetics, Inc. – a company that developed empathic communications training for healthcare professionals, and she is currently the Head of Research for Korn Ferry. She is also one of the hosts of The Happy At Work Podcast, which I was honored to be a guest on recently discussing my book, What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You. Today, Tessa is here discussing her new book, Branding that Means Business, which she co-authored with Matt Johnson, who was on the show two weeks ago talking about the customer side of branding. Today, Tessa and I look a little more on the employee side of things and how much that matters for brands. Listen in to learn more. Show Notes: [00:43] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Tessa Misiaszek, coauthor of Branding That Means Business. [02:41] Tessa shares about herself and the work she does.  [04:06] Tessa met Matt in England and they had an argument about empathy. [06:06] Her debate with Matt was if empathy had a scaling issue and if empathy can deplete you as a person.  [08:13] Tips for working with a co-author? If you go into business or create a start-up with a partner it is like a marriage. If it goes bad, it can go really bad. You want to make sure you have the right partner at the onset.  [11:04] Today we are going to talk about the internal functioning of marketing, branding, and culture.  [11:45] The function of marketing is value creation.      [13:45] A brand is not marketing. A brand is an asset to your marketing strategy. [16:17] Authenticity needs to tie through everything and the outward messaging to customers matters.   [18:41] At the end of the day it is the transparency that builds trust and once consumers have trust that you are doing what you say you are they are more likely to be loyal and forgiving if something happens.  [22:05] The more empathy you can have for the way that your consumers live their lives and think about how your product and service are integrated into the way they live their lives that will allow you to build a more authentic brand connected to them.  [23:42] Brand is really the great differentiator today.   [26:42] Empathizing with the customers is crucial.  [29:00] As a brand you can't be all things to all people so don't try to be.  [29:49] Companies are only as good as the people that run them. Being able to really connect that purpose to the employee organization and culture that you develop within the company is very important.   [31:50] Mission and values are just the beginning. Next, you have to think about the infrastructure and operations.  [33:54] Zappos worked on creating and building a culture that really engaged the employees and then delivered on that and drive everything about the company.  [35:28] Melina shares Zappos' ten core values. Tessa recommends that start-ups start with five unique authentic values. [37:14] If we all say we have the best service then nobody has the best service unless you are really living that. It is not enough to just say it, you have to show it.  [40:09] Values are not just words on a board. You have to think about how these values will evolve over time. To stay true to that as a company you have to continue to innovate based on those values.  [42:50] There should be an inventory once a year of company values.   [44:35] Tessa's podcast Happy At Work talks about organizational culture, employee engagement, and how to create a positive workplace environment.   [45:09] Melina shares her closing thoughts.  [46:03] Your brand promise may not be the same as your core values...and even if you don't have something written out anywhere (yet) or aren't really living those days in and day out (yet) consider this an opportunity to look at those and see how you can be doing better.

S2 Ep 6 - Difficult Conversations Series - Grief Part 1 A conversation with someone about the loss of a loved one, how it can affects a person (mentally and physically) and how one can heal. Episode Notes: If you listen to the podcast, you may already know that I view the platform as an extension of my private voice studio. In a lesson I like to focus primarily on the voice but every now and then other topics come up (for example- other forms of technique, mental health, artist development) that can affect the way we make sound but there is either just not enough time to chat about these things or sometimes it's just not the appropriate setting....so voilà, podcast! This particular episode is the beginning of a series I'm calling difficult conversations. It will focus on emotions that affect our inner and outer voice. In this episode I chat with someone about their loss of a loved one and how it has affected them. My guest takes us through what she went though and in doing so shows us her perspective on what someone grieving needs. She also inspires us to continue showering those closest to our hearts with love.

In the More Than Sunday podcast, we are tackling tough questions about faith that many people have but are often afraid to ask. For our sixth season, we asked our church family and listeners what questions they've been struggling with and each episode tackles a different tough question that came directly from you! In every episode, host, Rohini Drake, is joined by Pastor Clayton and a special guest to share their unique experiences and perspectives on some difficult topics. In this episode, with Rev. Richie Butler, we are asking, “How do we have difficult conversations?” In a time of intense division, it's scary to attempt a difficult conversation when we don't know how it will go. Join us as we learn and discuss the best ways to handle and engage in tough conversations.

There are several important conversations we desperately need to talk about, but we somehow avoid talking about them.As parents, we have an obligation to talk about certain things to our kids because it's important that they hear some of these things from us rather than from their friends or from the internet.As hard as these conversations are, we must have them to prepare and equip our kids to handle life. If you encourage honest and open communication early on, you create a great foundation to talk about hard topics.In this episode, Eddie and I outline the 6 topics that most people avoid talking about and give you some tips on how to approach them. Key Takeaways- What in the world? (01:34)- What's wrong with Kanye West (06:19)- Freedom of speech in a social media world (10:00)- How to talk to kids about sex (13:47)- Why you must talk about money (21:28)- Talking about race (25:26)- Emotional intelligence (31:43)- Talking about weight and health with children (41:31)- How to approach the topic of death (53:24)Additional Resources:- We are the Copelands Tiktok- The Pusher Society- Janelle's website- Join the Cake Cents FB Group- Join the Push Podcast FB Group- The Push Podcast's official website- Cake Mamas Instagram- Eddie's Instagram--If you haven't already, it would be amazing if you could head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review on the podcast!
