From Concern to Connection- 4 Step Roadmap to Difficult Conversations -86 THE GRIT SHOW

    • Self-Improvement

On this thought-provoking installment of The Grit Show, Shawna Rodrigues delves into the art of navigating difficult conversations with a deft touch grown from her rich background in clinical practice and high-stakes environments. In today's conversation Shawna extends her sage advice to preparing for and engaging in challenging dialogues, whether with loved ones or within professional realms. With a unique blend of personal anecdotes and expert insights, Shawna invites you to reevaluate and refine your approach to conflict resolution and intentional communication using a 4 step roadmap with concrete ways of looking at things. Shawna encourages you to reflect on your intentions and the right conditions for initiating these vital discussions. With a heartening blend of professional expertise and genuine care, she provides a guide for separating the personal from the practical, and addresses how external pressures like layoffs or anniversaries can add layers of complexity to our interactions. Remember, difficult conversations are seldom about just one thing—often, there's a hidden story. And if you've been waiting for a sign to reexamine your communication strategies, this is it. Tune in to discover the keys to unlocking more compassionate and goal-oriented conversations in your life.
Shawna Rodrigues left her award-winning career in the public sector in 2019 and after launching The Grit Show, soon learned the abysmal fact that women hosted only 27% of podcasts. This led to the founding of the Authentic Connections Podcast Network intent on raising that number by 10% in five years- 37 by 27. Because really, shouldn’t it be closer to 50%? She is the Director of Impact for the network, which offers full-service support for podcasting from mentoring to production. In September 2023 they are also launching the EPAC (Entrepreneurs and Podcasters Authentically Connected) community for those in early stages and wanting a place for weekly connection. She still finds a little time for her pursuits as a best-selling author and shares the hosting of Author Express, a podcast that features the voice behind the pages of your favorite book.
