Hard Conversations

Agile Disrupted

Two words: Hard. Conversations.

When comes to all the professional & personal relationships that fill our lives with fulfillment, or perhaps even dread, do we really accept the responsibility of conflict management? Do we live by the values and principles we carry, especially when conflict arises?

• Do people avoid hard conversations out of cowardice?
• Do people avoid hard conversations out of complacency?
• Do people avoid hard conversations out of convenience?
• Do people avoid hard conversations out of privilege?
• Are we in denial of the problem that exists in order to avoid a hard conversation?
• Are we always ready to provide or receive a hard conversation?
• Do we statistically remember the worst fights over the greatest milestones in a relationship due to the emotional scars it left behind?
• When you avoid a hard conversation, does anyone really win?
• What element of risk and uncertainty holds us back from having hard conversations?
• How regularly do we practice trust in ourselves in order to value the trust in others?
• Do we overestimate how well we communicate and promote transparency?
• Do we inflate the hard conversation to be bigger in our heads than it actually is?
• Does the relationship carry any substance without prior experiences of conflict?
• Are we compromising more often than collaborating in our relationships?

We are truly tested as humans by the decisions we make and its impact to others. We live with our decisions each day. So, is the hard conversation intended for someone else, or is it intended for ourselves? 🔥
