Having hard conversations is a skill. It starts with a willingness to be truer (read day 173). AND…mastery of this skill looks like an ability to have these conversations in a way that does not cause others to go triple D (defend, deny, destroy).
Giving someone truth is half the battle. Giving it IN LOVE is the other half. Doesn’t mean that the other will always feel the love or believe it. You can’t control how they respond. However, if these conversations usually end up with the other going triple D, you’ve got work to do.
Slow down, practice the conversation ahead of time. How can you lead the conversation in a way that both gives them the truth they need to hear AND shows them the dream state you have in mind for them? The performance you believe they’re capable of? Lead with belief, give them truth in love, ask them what they heard. That’s the formula.
