When we avoid the tough conversations…. 

• emotions fester
• it can feel like a weight on our chest 
• we feel disconnected from the person 
• people lose confidence in us, and our leadership 
• teams become dysfunctional 

When we have the tough conversations, we….  

• feel good about speaking up 
• get something off our chest 
• grow as a person 
• increase our influence 
• get the results we want! (More love, more money, more peace)
• feel closer to the other person
• clear up conflict
• inspire confidence in our leadership 
• bond as a team
