Episode Description
Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 51, Ami calls in first, keen on ways to handle the struggles so many are experiencing with friends & family around highly emotional topics such as politics (and when the conversation has gone off the rails, how to recover and mend the relationship). Next, Tamara needs strategies to give performance feedback to a team member who's a peer not pulling their weight (16:00). With so much virtual work, Peter has a team in which the energy has been dropping & tensions rising, and wants to reverse the trend for an open environment where members can be the best versions of themselves (28:40). Molly closes w/ 2 scenarios: when you dismiss someone’s reality as your perception & requesting feedback. Join the show for her conversations as you learn to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
