This conversation with Liam Leonard did NOT go as I expected - but in the best way possible.

What started as a conversation on embracing difficult conversations with internal stakeholders?turned into an incredible discussion on humility, learning, listening and the ability to be persuaded.

As a leader, this episode hit home for me because it opened my eyes to the reality of emotional discomfort in business and leadership - and the fact that not only can we learn to accept it, but we can survive it and become even better colleagues, managers and professionals.

In today’s world things are changing quickly and often. In business and leadership, this will mean an increase in difficult conversations with employees, clients, partners, and more.?

Successfully navigating the tides of change as a leader can be extremely tough.?

So how can we adopt a mindset that helps us embrace the inevitable and emerge from the other side with stronger teams, stronger relationships and better business savvy??

Liam has the answer.?

This was a conversation I wish I’d had MUCH earlier.?

So don’t be like me - listen NOW and let me know what you think!

For my leaders out there - what has been your biggest challenge as we navigate so much change in recent years??
