Responding to Challenges Part 2 | Season 3 | Ep. 6

SUMMARY

In the sixth episode of season 3 of Tackle Tuesday podcast, we explore part two of responding to challenges. Specifically, we talk about difficult conversations. 

The episode focuses on the science of mindfulness and encourages listeners to consider the effects of simply taking a few breaths before beginning a difficult conversation. When we are in a highly stressed state, the part of our brain responsible for rational thinking is impaired and may impact how we respond to conflict. Changing the rhythm of your breath can signal relaxation and help you refocus.

We then discuss common types of difficult conversations and tips on how to respond through a four-step process.
