Difficult Conversations Made Easy: What To Say When It Matters Most
Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.
How do you feel about asking for a raise, dealing with a difficult stakeholder, speaking up in a meeting or setting a boundary at work?
If your answer was something along the lines of "those conversations are so difficult, I never know what to say", then you're not alone.
If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you'd know that I start every episode in the same way by saying "Hi, hi fabulous humans". You may not know though, that I use this same starter for any big meetings where I'm presenting or teaching.
Why? Because it tells my brain that we're about to start serving a group of fabulous humans and it leads into my subject matter without feeling awkward about how I'm going to start.
Tun into this week's episode Difficult Conversations Made Easy: What To Say When It Matters Most we're making some of the most difficult conversations that come up in the workplace, just that little bit easier by using scripts and sentence starters. We're covering:
- Why workplace conversations can feel so hard
- Why I recommend using scripts and sentence starters to overcome this
- How you can use scripts without sounding robotic
- Real examples from my new Confident Conversations handbook
