Do difficult workplace conversations terrify you? 
Does the idea of having to tell a colleague something they won’t like make you just want to pack up for the day and go home instead?

If that’s the case then returning guest Dom Price might have the mindset flip and strategies you need to approach these conversations with enthusiasm instead of trepidation.

Dom is the resident Work Futurist at Atlassian one of the largest software businesses in the world and has responsibilities spanning 7 global R&D centres.

On top of that he is a celebrated keynote speaker and a former Director of Deliotte.

I wanted to talk to Dom about having difficult conversations in the workplace and was honestly surprised by some of the insights he shared.



In this episode Dom shares:

-         🔄 Two things you might be doing that are actually making conversations more difficult.

-         💡 Tricks you can use to make difficult conversations easier.

-         📝 The unique way he prepares for tough conversations that you can do as well.

-         🛡️ How to approach a conversation with someone when you don’t feel safe.



Key Quotes:

"You don't course correct well by accident, you course correct on purpose."

"We've spent so long talking about psychological safety that we've not realised it's a set of actions, it’s not a set of words."

“Preparation is good. Over preparation isn't good."
