When was the last time you avoided a difficult conversation with someone just to get their approval?

Did it ever get resolved?

Having difficult conversations with those you care about is part of life, so it's better to prepare ahead of time.

In my conversation with Lori, she shares that our avoidance of an issue and not facing the hard conversation actually causes the disconnection we are trying to avoid in our relationships.

According to Lori, there are three ways for a conversation to go wrong:

• Avoiding the conversation completely
• Assuming things
• Being unprepared

With Lori’s game plan, my prayer is that you can be better prepared the next time you need to have a difficult conversation by being your authentic self.
