🎭 Difficult Conversations
Let's make sure you've already had it once before it counts.
The real conversation is coming.
Pick the person you need to face. Describe what's at stake. Then have the conversation — text or voice — in a space where there are no consequences for getting it wrong. Before you start, you'll see the financial stakes — what this conversation is actually protecting or fighting for. The coaching debrief after tells you exactly what to do differently when it counts.
