Learn how to navigate tough conversations with emotional resilience

Susan Steinbrecher has developed an approach that you should know more about. Focused on helping people better understand how to talk to each other, develop stronger relationships and overcome their differences, Susan is an expert in helping businesses and other organizations build strong teams. Her new book, "Meaningful Allignment: Mastering Emotionally Intelligent Interactions at Work and in Life,"  teaches us how to do this too. In fact, it's a novel about a man whose work life and home life are in tatters. By using Susan’s methods, he discovers a different way to deal with people, and turns around himself and his life. In our podcast, you'll learn how to build emotional resilience and navigate tough conversations with confidence and compassion! Most people have difficulty handling emotionally charged conversations

And this inability to effectively handle high-stakes conversations costs organizations an enormous amount of time and money. Our capacity to manage emotions, resolve conflict, and create meaningful alignment with others is not innate — it must be learned. But we have been rewarded for results, not emotional intelligence, Susan explains in our interview.

So what's the secret to successful relationships? Aligning with others, using emotional composure and resiliency. That's what Susan's program, Meaningful Alignment, is designed to do — help individuals and teams learn how to communicate extraordinarily well and successfully build high levels of trust.
