Show Notes

Hard Conversations in ageing can take many different forms. It might be encouraging your loved one to accept some help at home. It could be broaching discussions about moving permanently into a residential care facility. It may be gently assessing if the individual has insight into their own cognitive decline. So what can you do about this?

In my experience the keys to productive and positive Hard Conversations are:

  • Curiosity
  • Empathy
  • Goal-focused discussion

In this episode we unpack how to use those three pillars to work alongside your loved one and ensure they achieve their ageing goals.
