How to Deal with Difficult People Without Losing Yourself

You have that one person in your life. You know exactly who I am talking about. The one who knows how to pull you in every single time. And every time they do, you end up in a conversation you regret, feeling emotions you did not choose, acting like a version of yourself you do not even recognize. I have been there more times than I want to admit. And this episode is about how we stop doing that. I brought in Jefferson Fisher, one of the most practical communication minds I have come across in a long time. He is not going to give you philosophy. He is going to give you the exact words to use when someone is being passive aggressive, when the conversation is going sideways, when you feel yourself being pushed around. Real phrases. Real situations. Stuff you can use today. Charles Duhigg comes in and breaks down why communication is one of the most underrated skills in your life and your business, and what the science actually says about how to do it better. Emmanuel Acho challenges you to stop avoiding the hard conversations, because real connection only ever lives on the other side of honesty. And Chuck Weisner teaches the art of listening so well that people will feel more understood by you than they have ever felt before. Then I close it out with something that has been on my mind for a long time. Emotional maturity. The invisible choice you are making every single time you let someone else drag you into their world. I call it living in someone else's house. And once you hear it that way, I promise you, you will never look at your most difficult relationships the same way again. Here is what you are going to take away from this one: Your Emotional Home: Why choosing to enter someone else's emotional chaos is always your decision, not theirs, and how to stop making that choice The Race to the Bottom: Why getting angrier, meaner, or more reactive with difficult people is the one move that guarantees you lose every single time Jefferson Fisher's Exact Phrases: The specific words to use in real time when someone is being passive aggressive, disrespectful, or trying to dominate the conversation What Did You Hear: The single most powerful question you can ask in any argument to immediately bring the temperature down and make the other person feel understood The Uncomfortable Conversation: Why Emmanuel Acho believes the conversations you keep avoiding are the exact ones that will finally set you free The Art of Listening: The match and mirror method and why the people who listen best are almost always the most liked and the most influential people in any room The most intelligent version of you is also the calmest version of you. This episode is going to help you get there. ⁠👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Why You're Still Playing Small (And How to Stop) | Emmanuel Acho

Not everyone is going to like you. And that is okay. Emmanuel Acho built one of the most meteoric rises in media in recent memory. Former NFL linebacker. Fox Sports host of Speak for Yourself. Author of multiple New York Times bestselling books, including Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits, published under the Oprah imprint. He has done things no one outside of Oprah herself has done. And still, the criticism came. This conversation is about what you do with that. How do you hold your identity when the world tries to hand you someone else's version of it? Emmanuel turned down comparisons to Michael Strahan because he understood something most people miss: you cannot become the greatest version of yourself by trying to become someone who already exists. He stopped setting goals. Not because he stopped caring, but because he realized goals create a ceiling. Instead he started moving toward objectives, things that stretch beyond what logic says is possible. He fell and got back up. He didn't fail. There is a difference. If you have ever achieved something and felt emptier than you expected, or gotten harder on yourself the more successful you became, this episode will crack something open in you.

Emmanuel Acho: "As Long As I Get Up, I Win."

Hoda sits down with former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho, creator of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. Emmanuel shares how he found his calling – not in his strength on the football field – but with the power of listening and sharing the stories of others, first online and then with a best-selling book. Released by five pro teams in five years, Emmanuel learned the true meaning of perseverance. And just like all of us, he’s faced rejection, criticism, and moments of uncertainty. But as Emmanuel puts it, having a setback isn’t failing, it’s falling: and if you can get back up, you win. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Emmanuel Acho: An Uncomfortable Conversation

What’s the reward for not calculating your every move? Emmanuel Acho, the Emmy-winning host of the popular series Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, NY Times best-selling author, and former NFL player, opens up about how his actions are so carefully planned that he feels more like a robot than a human. When the hosts challenge him, which Emmanuel admits he’s not used to, he embraces it with honesty and begins to realize that his logical plan doesn’t quite fit with his happiness plan. Emmanuel inspires us to reflect on who we want to be as he leans into the weight of the armor he’s wearing and wrestles in real-time with the rewards of taking it off.
