How to Plan for an Upcoming Difficult Conversation (or Negotiation)

Dear Sisters and Friends,

Thank you to all of my subscribers with a special shout-out to my paid subscribers. Really appreciate!!

I am currently in the midst of two challenging conversations.

The first is a money conflict that has come up with my beloved son Jack, and the second concerns a development project in my town. There are plenty of opportunities in life to practice dealing with difficult conversations, don’t you think!

I care most about the situation with my son, so I am going to use it (superficially anyway) to map out in this blog the process I use to prepare.

My son has built a cool mountaineering guiding company. I’m very proud of him but, sadly for me, it means he lives on the opposite side of the United States where the big mountains are.
