13 Oct 2025
In this episode, I break down how to make tough conversations easier by building trust, adapting to conflict styles, and using simple frameworks that keep feedback factual and fair. I also share practical phrases, a clear prep checklist, and a reframe that turns calling out into calling up. Here are the key takeaways: • building relational equity to create trust for hard talks• reading conflict styles: accommodate, assert, analyze• adapting tone, pacing, and content to their motive• preparing with clarity, composure, compassion, and curiosity• using the SBI framework: situation, behavior, impact• pairing facts with empathy to reduce defensiveness• calling up versus calling out to inspire growth• recap and a reflection prompt to start your next conversationIf you found this episode helpful, share it with another leader who's facing a tough conversation this week.
