Discussing Hot Topics Without Torching Relationships
About this episode
If you’ve been part of our community for a while, you know that around this time of year, in alignment with Halloween, I usually host a panel of C-suite leaders from a variety of industries to talk about what’s “scary” when it comes to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. But this year, what scares me most aren’t the typical DEI challenges —it’s the inflammatory conversations happening around the upcoming elections. The heightened tensions and division can make it feel like any conversation could ignite a raging argument, risking relationships we care about. That’s why this month’s series of Real Conversations from the C-suite is so important. Discussing hot topics without torching relationships is such a valuable skill set, especially right now. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “Disagreeing without being disagreeable,” then you’ll appreciate that my goal with this series is to offer practical tools and insights to help navigate challenging conversations with grace, so we can all keep our relationships intact —even when the conversations get heated. Join me and my special guest, Ms. Terri Wilson, Founder and CEO of Doing HR Differently, during this month’s series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite for thoughtful tips and coaching techniques to help you discuss hot topics without torching relationships!
