A ‘Critical Conversation’ is defined as one where the stakes are high, the emotions are strong and opinions differ. Often these conversations are avoided because the individual does not have the skills to cope with the difficulties they raise. The subsequent result is no change and no improvement.
Crucial conversations involve 3 key components: high stakes, differing views, and strong emotions. They may not involve big issues, but their outcomes can affect the quality of our lives.
Let’s look at the 5 steps to prepare for a crucial conversation.
Keep your mind on the goal. By focusing on the goal you can avoid trying to win. …
Don’t accuse others. Seek to gain an understanding of the other person’s perspective. …
Work on your listening skills. …
Practice pausing. …
Be willing to engage in the dialogue.
