The 3 Crucial Conversations You Must Have On The Road To Your Career Passion

On today’s episode we talk about 3 crucial conversations that you must have as you work towards discovering your career passion.   I also share actionable tips on what to say when you approach challenging conversations during a potential career transition.

In today’s episode I also discussed the 8 Essential Elements to a crucial conversation. I’ve listed those here:

The eight principles of “crucial conversations” are:

1. Get unstuck (identify the issue; discover what is holding you back)

2. Start with heart (what do you want to accomplish)

3. Learn to look (observe behaviors, address your stress)

4. Make it safe (be respectful, be observant and non-threatening; use communication skills)

5. Master my stories (stick to the facts, see both sides, think about what you want to say)

6. State my path (be persuasive not abrasive)

7. Explore others’ paths (consider other views and solutions; compromise)

8. Move to action (make a plan; stay positive and get results)
