Tough Conversations Can Be Stressful….
Hello,
I was in my office and about to do something I’d never done before.
One of my employees was on the other side of my desk. He was a good guy, and I liked him a lot, but I needed a tough conversation with him.
I had decided to terminate him.
He knew it was coming, but that didn’t ease the tension in the room—it made it worse.
So there we were – a couple of mates about to talk. I was feeling sick, and I knew his family and that he had a big house mortgage.
Have you ever been in a situation where you KNEW you had to deliver a tough talk to someone (at work or home) but were dreading it?
Whether you’re a C-level executive, a spouse, or part of a team, you probably know this to be true:
One conversation can change everything.
So, I want you to think of a tough conversation that people around you should have. An issue is holding you back from accomplishing what you want to accomplish.
You might be one conversation away from achieving your objective, but you’re not having the necessary conversation.
Few things are worse than unresolved issues—they gnaw away at you and make you feel incomplete. In other words, they’re like a festering wound that requires immediate attention.
Young Punk Stole My Car Wheels!
I’ve led some tough conversations in some very tough environments.
For example, many years ago, a neighbour’s son jacked up my car and stole the wheels! Upon seeing this, I was shocked, angry and determined to do something about it. So, I pounded on their door and conducted a tough conversation with the parents using one of my famous frameworks.
Bingo – within ten minutes, the problem was resolved in my favour. Isn’t that better than getting into a fight and not fixing what pains you? Of course!
This is why I want you to enrol in my new course, Grow and Prosper. You will learn many things, and yes, they will make a difference in your life. In fact, if you aggressively apply what you learn, your life will change dramatically.
Please review this page, then get involved. You won’t regret it.

Can You Relate?
In Your Job and Beyond
“I know my interpersonal skills are lacking, but I can’t afford to hire a coach to help me fix the problem.”
“I sometimes find it difficult to converse with difficult people and would love to fix the problem.”
“I’m a manager, but trying to get people to do the work competently is sometimes like trying to herd cats.”
“I am uncomfortable presenting to groups of people, so I avoid it, even though I know it hurts my career prospects.”
“Sometimes, I must deliver bad news, but I hate doing it.”
“I avoid conflict but know sometimes it’s unavoidable; what can I do?”
“I’m a front-line worker, and customers are often rude.”
“I see great jobs being advertised but feel I lack a killer point of difference.”
“I’d like to get a promotion, but I’m unsure how to get an edge in a competitive work environment.”
“I’d love to start a side gig. I know attracting customers is vital, but I lack good communication skills and fear rejection.”
“I have authority issues; I’m often shy with C-Suite Executives, including the CEO.”
At Home
“Since COVID, my partner is home more—it’s creating friction, and I’m unsure how to lower the temperature.”
“My son never cleans up his room.”
“My husband is often late for dinner.”
“The neighbours are causing problems but I don’t want to confront them”
In Your Business
“There is too much backbiting, politicking and gossiping in our workplace, but I’m finding it hard to stop it.”
“I can’t get my staff to embrace our company culture.”
“Some of my people are not team players.”

- About the Grow and Prosper Course
Win the Relationship Game, One Conversation at a Time
And without being a windbag, a bore or a manipulative SOB.
I’ve developed a method and a process that has served me and hundreds of others well for many years.
It’s the same method I taught in workshops in large organisations.
Workshops cost thousands of dollars, but you don’t have to pay anything like that when you join my Grow and Prosper Course.
The Role of Conflict
- Most of us don’t like conflict, but it’s normal, healthy and human.
- Without conflict, problems get buried – big problems, problems we all want to solve.
- Conflict is information, and handled well; conflict is opportunity.
- So move toward it rather than running from it or pretending it’s not there.
