Part 2: Strategies for Navigating Difficult Conversations
Each Personality Style will approach a difficult conversation differently:
- Yellow – Sunshine Sally: Avoid and ignore it, cajole the other person into forgetting it
- Red – Action Annie: She will use force and potentially anger to “bully” someone into seeing it her way
- Blue – Detailed Danielle: She will be passive aggressive as a way to manipulate, or might even withdraw to avoid it all together
- Green – Peaceful Patty: She will pretend there’s no problem, using procrastination to control until it all blows sky high.
Here is a format you can use to navigate the conversation no matter what your style!
When you – fill in specific action that’s bothering you.
I feel – name the emotion
Because – elaborate on emotion, why you feel that way
I want you to – changed behavior you want to see
Encouraging word of the week: Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
