Is that worth a difficult conversation?1:28
Assess when a difficult conversation is worth addressing to resolve a conflict, and use the questions and downloadable PDF to decide and practice.

Purpose1:36
Identify the three levels of the conversation, review the facts, and clarify your purpose to achieve a constructive objective—then choose between compromise or collaborate to resolve the conflict.
An example of purpose0:47
Identify the real purpose behind management actions as harmony within the team, not just stopping unpleasant comments, and explore solutions like clear communication and teaching language to colleagues.
The counterpart1:23
Consider the counterpart's emotions to stay calm during conversations, as the amygdala triggers alertness; stay prepared for surprises and learn steps to handle anger.
The Lizard Brain1:04
An example of how our lizard brain works0:55
Recognize how the lizard brain triggers fight or flight in unexpected conversations and apply strategies to manage irritability by considering others' reactions.
Do not underestimate the importance of considering the counterpart0:34

The Conversation4:13
Start with gratitude, use an unbiased observer story about observable behavior, and ask curious questions to turn the conversation into collaborative problem solving with shared feelings and mutual commitment.
More on asking questions0:46
Learn how listening and asking questions clarifies issues and promotes constructive resolution, even when language stress arises, by encouraging sincerity and clear communication in team conflicts.
What could possibly go wrong?1:22
Prevent escalation by pausing to breathe when anger arises, avoiding mirroring, acknowledging feelings, and offering to reschedule to keep the conversation productive.
Debrief and Follow-up0:42
Conduct a structured debrief after each call by answering guiding questions in the downloadable PDF, and follow up with a thank-you email that recaps agreed actions.
