Tired of Avoiding the Conversations You Know You Need to Have?

 

Let’s be honest, leading people isn’t easy. Navigating tough conversations even harder.
If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking “I should have said something,” or watched a performance issue drag on because you didn’t know how to address it without making things worse—you’re not alone.

You’re Not the Problem. But Your Habits Might Be.

Most leaders don’t avoid difficult conversations because they don’t care. They avoid them because:

✔ They don’t want to damage trust.
✔ They don’t want to look like a jerk.
✔ They’re not sure their decisions will be supported.
✔ They’re afraid of saying the wrong thing and making it worse.

But here's the truth: Avoiding conflict doesn’t protect your team—it prolongs the pain.

What’s Really Going On?

Every team problem that keeps you up at night can usually be traced back to a conversation that should have happened but didn’t. And it’s not your fault. Most of us were taught that conflict is a big problem to be avoided. The truth: Conflict is never the real problem. The real problem is mismanagement! And when we avoid, we are unconsciously mismanaging.

Most of us were never taught how to handle conflict productively. Instead, we unconsciously mismanage conflict by:

✔ Delaying and hoping it’ll fix itself.
✔ Dropping subtle hints.
✔ Working every problem into an “annual review.”
✔ Sugarcoating feedback so it doesn’t sting.
✔ Keeping quiet so we don’t “rock the boat.”
✔ Working around people instead of with them.
✔ Moving the problem person to a different department.

Over time, those coping strategies become habits. And those habits create the conflict and workplace drama you’ve been trying to avoid.

Your Brain Is Wired for Avoidance—But You Can Rewire It

Neuroscience shows that what we practice, we strengthen.

The more you avoid hard conversations, the more your brain wires that in as “safe.” But that wiring can be changed.

You can train yourself to have hard conversations with clarity, calm, and confidence.

You can coach your team in a way that increases performance and accountability.
