Why is your life less effective than it could be?

The scariest conversation you may think of is the one to hold people accountable.

We often don't speak up and address issues because we fear that we will lose more.

A manager doesn't speak to a team member about low performance or lack of skills.

A mother doesn't talk to her daughter about her lack of diligence.

A colleague doesn't bring up the fact that consistent delays in getting necessary data from others impact her deadlines.

A partner doesn't say anything about the violated agreement.

We fear a backfire and a catastrophic failure in relationships.

Because of this, we tolerate the issues.

Little by little, like water carves the stone, the infractions in our agreements reduce the effectiveness of our lives.

We think, "What can go wrong if I speak about this?"

And sure enough, we imagine the ugliest picture in our heads.

And we fear it.

That's why there are so few people who are confident enough to hold an accountability conversation.

We accept the "smaller" loss and tolerate ineffective relationships rather than risking a bigger loss that might arise if we voice our concerns.

However, this is just a story in your head.

And the outcome of tolerating an ineffective relationship could be much bigger than losing this bad relationship.

If you fear a difficult conversation, you're selling your future and your dream life for the temporary feeling of security.

Therefore, learn to hold difficult conversations confidently.

It is possible.

It's just a skill.

Join a community of practice to learn how to do it from others.

Improve your life and surround yourself with people who honor and respect truth and reliability in relationships.

Your life will change.

Become the influencer you want to be.

Do it today for the sake of your life.

Cheers!
