Episode 234: Difficult Conversations Simplified
In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson explores the concept of “kitchen sink conversations”—those difficult discussions where multiple unrelated grievances get thrown together and nothing gets resolved. Drawing on principles of minimalist design, she offers practical strategies for keeping workplace (and even household) conversations focused, productive, and empathetic. By sticking to one issue at a time, listening with empathy, and owning what you can change, Dr. Janel outlines a clear, actionable approach to de-escalating conflict and fostering real problem-solving, both at work and at home. Listeners will come away with tools to navigate tough conversations more effectively and constructively.
