At Have Hope; Will Travel we love giving individuals space to share their stories and their perspectives. Especially if it’s a perspective we might not otherwise hear.
However, those types of conversations are not always easy.
In this week’s podcast episode I share some secrets for how to handle them in the context of a relationship where both individuals feel safe and wish to move forward in the conversation.
- Ask permission.
- Go in willing to learn.
- Allow the other person to decline to answer questions.
- Be teachable.
- Apologize.
- Define terms.
- Know your boundaries.
This is not an exhaustive list.
