Holding Difficult Conversations Articles

1). Advocate Respectfully By : Judy Ringer
This is one of a series of brief articles on holding difficult conversations. In earlier issues of Ki Moments, I suggested ways to open communications that create mutual respect; we talked about the importance of knowing your purpose for the conversation; and we added Inquiry and Curiosity to our conversational toolbox. Here the topic is Advocacy. Advocacy is the flip side of Inquiry – the opportunity that you open for yourself to tell your story.
