Each one of us has one or two conversations that we are not having that we need to have or the situation will continue and we will continue to be bothered by it. In this discussion we will discuss our comfort level in holding these difficult conversations, what is holding us back, and our experiences in giving and receiving feedback. Initial post questions: 1. Describe your comfort level in holding difficult conversation. What do you believe is the reason behind your comfort level? How does your comfort level impact you actually holding these conversations? 2. What is the impact on you if you do not hold difficult conversations? How do your assumptions in the situation affect your understanding of it? What are the stories you are telling yourself? 3. Can you describe a situation where you received good feedback? What did it look like? How did it make you feel? 4. Can you describe a situation where you received poor or ineffective feedback? Why did you think it was ineffective? What was the impact on you? 5.
