In this episode of We've All Done It, Kimberly breaks down the right and wrong way to prepare for a difficult or challenging conversation. Instead of just playing it out in your head with all of the best zingers, how about prepare so that you walk away with resolution and your integrity in tact.

Key takeaways include:

• being mindful of spiralling into a mental thunder dome of a conversation you make up in your head
• practicing with a partner
• plan for when the emotions get the best of you

Let's set you up for success!!

In today's episode, The Positivity Pitfall: Cracking the Code of Workplace Positivity Gone Wrong, featuring Susan Bittner & Jon Rennie, we have a wonderful conversation breaking down where leadership positivity becomes toxic. Where trying to rally the troops turns into inauthentic, mumble jumble of motivational posters.

Take a listen to hear us breakdown:

• What is Toxic Positivity? #toxicpositivity
• What if you fall into the “positivity” trap as a leader?
• The importance of really knowing your team
• How to balance tough emotions, leadership challenges with focusing on the positive?
• How to support your team in an authentic way?

Definitely a NOT MISS!!!
