Some time late last year we talked about crucial conversations,remember?….This is the second part of the post
If you remember we said our approach matters most and that crucial conversations can kill or build relatonships.In this final part,i will emphasize on how to say it not who to say it to.Some people are very unapproachable and if we are to have crucial conversations with them,it’s just disastrous.This is where attitude comes in.You must be bold enough yet very humble when we approaching such people.I said last week that your boss could be the lion but the humility of the mouse in you conquers him.
Sometimes we also have to take a back seat and become the listeners even if we are the offended party.Allow them talk first and justify themselves then go ahead and apply wisdom.When holding crucial conversations we must always learn to wear the offender’s shoe first,hard I know but it’s the miracle that might save the relationship you have with them.
Finally,after all has been said and done,we must learn to forgive.Jesus said that we forgive 70*77 times.Forgiveness benefits the offended not the offender.That’s the plain painful truth!You must also realize that you don’t have to agree to forgive..no,agree to disagree and vice versa.We are all humans we never share opinions and stands.
I pray for you that God gives you insight when handling crucial conversation and that you don’t fall out with the people in your life because a crucial conversation failed.
Enjoy a fruitful week
