The Conversation You’re Avoiding… Matters


Hi There, Reader,

If you’ve been putting off a hard conversation with someone on your team, it doesn’t mean you don’t care.


Most of the time, it means you care a lot about the relationship, the outcome, and getting it right.

Managers avoid conversations for one main reason: they haven’t been given a clear way to handle them. So issues linger, tension builds, and the stress follows you home.

Confidence in these moments isn’t about personality. It comes from preparation, emotional regulation, and knowing how to say what needs to be said clearly and respectfully

There’s a quick 10-second video in this email. Take a moment to watch it t captures this idea in a simple, real way.

Then ask yourself: What conversation am I carrying right now that needs to happen?

It comes from preparation, emotional regulation, and practice.
