How to Navigate Difficult Conversations

Ever been in a tough conversation with someone that ended up going south? Don't you wish you had known how to calmly stand your ground back then in order to redirect it?

Uhm, yeah me too!

As leaders situations like this are inevitable, and knowing how to handle it is what is going to set you apart as the leader your people actually want to follow. That's why today's episode of The Beyond Leadership Podcast is all about navigating those difficult conversations with the expert herself, Julie Crenshaw.

Julie Crenshaw is a Conversation Coach and author of the book, Navigating & Avoiding Awkward Conversations. She teaches on a wide variety of topics, from basic socializing and small talk skills to dealing with conflict, to having conversations on difficult subjects such as illness and grief. As a doctor of physical therapy and a board-certified specialist in geriatrics, subjects related to healthcare, patient rights, and caregiver burden are close to her heart. Her mission is to empower others to feel confident in their ability to express themselves and their needs/desires more clearly and to be able to handle difficult situations and conversations with ease. She believes that with a strong foundation of compassion, boundaries, and a healthy mindset, anyone can learn to gracefully connect with others, no matter the situation.
