“Difficult conversations can be quickly transformed into an opportunity to get exponentially better results”
As we go through life, there’s something important we might not notice: the stories we tell ourselves. These stories can change how we feel and what we do, even when it comes to having difficult conversations. In this blog post, we’ll talk about these stories and how changing them can make a difference when having difficult conversations.
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
When I talk about stories, I mean the ideas and thoughts we have about what happens in our lives. These ideas can change how we think, feel, and act, especially in challenging situations like having difficult conversations.
An Example of Change
I was supporting a business owner with this recently, he often had tough times with clients and projects, especially when it meant having difficult conversations about problems or delays.
He dreaded having those conversations.
He told himself before the meeting that it wouldn’t go well. That the client wouldn’t be happy whatever he said. So he felt like he was going into a “battle” when having difficult conversations like this
But this story was the problem!
Changing the Story in Difficult Conversations
With my help, he changed this story. So now, instead of being afraid, he could see these situations as an opportunity to impress the client, even though there were problems. He changed from a story of dread to a strong story. It meant he showed up in a strong way.
A Big Change in Having Difficult Conversations
This change helped immensely. He started having better talks with clients. They worked together better, and things got easier. His new way of thinking also made him feel happy and regain some peace of mind.
