This is your True Talk Cafe micro episode, designed to start your day with intention, not noise.

Today’s topic: “Avoidance"

Let’s talk about something you’re probably dealing with right now—
 and maybe hoping it’ll just work itself out.

That email you haven’t sent.
 That conversation you keep pushing off.
 That decision you keep delaying.

That’s not timing.
 That’s avoidance.

Avoidance can feel productive.

So, here’s this week’s question:

👉 What decision have you been postponing right now?

INSIGHTS + RESEARCH

Harvard Business Review found that 85% of employees avoid difficult conversations, even when they know it makes things worse.

Now let’s be clear.

Avoidance doesn’t remove the problem…
 it just gives it time to grow.

In your career, avoidance shows up as:

  • Staying silent when expectations aren’t clear
  • Holding onto roles that no longer align
  • Delaying decisions, you’ve already made internally

And over time, it costs you:
👉 Momentum
 👉 Confidence
 👉 Opportunity

In summary, action breaks avoidance.  The longer you avoid it,
 the heavier it becomes. And the moment you face it?  You’ll wonder why you waited so long.

So, what action will you be taking?
