Ep 119 | Crucial Conversations w/ Emily Harpole

Seeking Excellence with Nathan Crankfield

"A Crucial Conversation is a discussion between two people where stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong" -From the book Crucial Conversations   Almost nobody is really ever prepared when having a difficult conversation with a friend, parent, spouse, or someone in the workplace. We value these relationships, and yet when they are most in jeopardy (i.e. during crucial conversations), we leave it up to our instincts and chance.   This further leads to compromised boundaries, harbored anger, and suppressed emotions. These compound to make for great business for divorce lawyers and many other severed relationships.    Today, we talk about some pracitcal ways that you can better prepare for and execute in these critical relational moments. Emily joins the podcast to give some real life examples from our own relationship, as well as from other areas of our lives.    Be sure to check out the books we reference:  Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability! They are absolute game changers for helping you to become more successful in repairing damages done and setting relationships up to thrive in the future.
