Depends on my time – I usually moderate discussions but only those polite. Other types are not worth of my time.

Speak with self-confidence, do not rely or dependent on other people's arguments/opinions in your favor or against you, and keep your ears open.

I’ve noticed that workplace conversations can sometimes be challenging, especially when someone focuses solely on expressing their own thoughts and feelings without being a good listener. In such situations, it’s important to stay calm, clarify the key points and objectives of the discussion, and ensure mutual understanding. Also, building respect and trust during conversations is equally crucial for fostering effective communication.

Learn to sit in the discomfort! I remind myself that rushing to fill it might derail the conversation.

Honestly, I just remind myself that the goals is not to win the conservation but to understand the other side.

I've learned that sometimes it helps to give myself a moment to breathe before responding, especially when things get heated.

I've found that staying calm and taking a pause before reacting is key.

One thing I always try to do is stay calm and be honest, but also kind.

Before anything else: breathe, breathe, and then think. Approach the topic without letting it affect you personally or interpreting it as an attack. Stay level-headed, respond professionally, and use respectful gestures. I always try to keep these three pillars in mind: soul, life, and heart. They remind me to stay grounded, empathetic, and authentic during tough conversations. How do you navigate these situations? I’d love to hear your perspective! 😊
