I really like the energy of Joseph Grenny. His real world examples made the content come alive!

@12:01 "The best way to minimize the number of crucial conversations you have in life is to have a meaningless life.  As soon as you go after something important, they will occur." Pure gold! !!!

"Broken relationships were broken by silence, by not discussing the problem in healthy way." Amazing insight.

I saw this live at the REACH conference and just rewatched it 9 years later. Just as powerful now as it was sitting in that seat in the auditorium. Love the power of Crucial Conversations!!!

How beautiful is this whole thing "The way we see others in THOSE CRUCIAL MOMENTS is less of who they are and more of WHAT WE WANT"

Brilliant ! 🙇🏻‍♀️ thank you, Mr. Grenny!

I will admit, it was part of an assignment at my career search place to watch this and I was like, 30 minutes? Come on!
I cannot remember when I have enjoyed, related to and felt so refreshed from learning these new perspectives.
Excellent 👍👍👍

I have to say,   I really have, " NO IDEA" how I came across your video,  but I am "SO HAPPY" that I did. I  just sat in my car, tears rolling down my face,  the windows rolled down, parked in an Ace Hardware parking lot, listening,  to you, Joseph. I Loved what you had to say, how you presented it, and your son's experiment! (TOTALLY ENLIGHTENING) I could relate with all of it and I am AMAZED by it. And in Awe of how much ALIKE we ALL are. it's CRAZY!!!..And Now...at 58... I am a widow and 2x divorced. I really Wished that I had seen this in my 20's or even earlier. Where would I be and how much pain could I have not created for myself and others.😢I will share this with everyone I know..
Keep up your Awesome work! and Thank you for sharing  with all of us ! I really appreciate you!

really liked the idea of CPR- that stands for Content, Pattern, Relation, when the safety is at risk, step out of content, restore the safety and then step back in.

"If you don't talk it out, then you'll act it out." Very wise words, Joseph. I just completed your Executive Briefing series and enjoyed it as well. Thank you.

"The best way to minimize the number of crucial conversations you have in life is to have a meaningless life."  I believe that to some degree we all tend to backoff when crucial conversations start raising blocks.

This made me cry....something that should be so easy is so difficult to do...although it MUST be done as un comfortable as it is. Thank you so much for this talk.

Thank you, Joseph Grenny, for your wisdom!!!

(please thumbs up if you think this is helpful)  @ 10:50 "The big idea that started to emerge from our work is that you can measure the health... of a relationship - the health of a team - even the health of an entire organization... by measuring the average lag time between identifying and discussing problems."
@ 15:30 "It turns out that around the age 3 or 4 you and I start to believe that you frequently have to choose between telling the truth and keeping a friend...  And that one belief causes mischief for the rest of our lives.  That's the controlling assumption that dictates how we show up in interpersonal situations from that moment forward."
@ 28:20 "What am I acting like I want?  And what do I really want?"... "It turns out that the way you see others during those crucial moments is less a reflection of who they are and more of a reflection of what we want."

"Calculate the costs of not speaking up."

Love this story. Thank you ;)

You can measure the health of a relationship by the lag time in identifying problems. The best way to minimize the number of crucial conversations is to have a meaningless life. The kids didn’t want to hurt his feelings so they lied about liking the salty brownies but wouldn’t take a second brownie. Relationships break because the lag time of feeling the problem and discussing the problem. What is the cost of silence? When your motives are bad, you can’t see people for who they are. Apologize and open the conversation for communication.

Very useful, practical,...  Like the lady who said "I didn't want to marry him for his money.  But that's the only way I could get it." LOL🤣  
Your "BS Guys" are awesome.

Got to know about this from a blog that my friend wrote. Deeply informational and insightful ✨
