Ep 172 - The Value of Rehearsing a Difficult Conversation Out Loud

March 11, 2025 • Episode 172

Do you hate having a confronting conversation? Maybe you don't enjoy giving feedback you think might not be well received? In today's ep I am sharing my own process to prepare for a challenging conversation so you get the outcome you were hoping for without burning any bridges!

A lot of people don't enjoy giving feedback, especially if you know it might not be well received.

Which is why it is so important to prepare and rehearse what you want to say in advance....

Join me and let's dive into this one together!

Here is something I said today:

"I find it valuable to do a run through of what I want to say (in private) and then look at it from the other person's perspective. Put myself in their shoes and see how they might be feeling." (Rebecca Allen, Host, Her Ambitious Career)

About Rebecca:

Hi, I’m Rebecca Allen and I’m an Executive Coach and Personal Brand expert for corporate women, aspiring to senior levels of leadership. I absolutely LOVE coaching and seeing my fabulous clients exceed their own expectations. I’ve worked for 11 years now as a coach and have helped women at companies including Woolworths, ANZ, J.P. Morgan, PwC, Coca-Cola Amatil, Ministry of Defence and Coles. I live for those phone calls from clients, jumping up and down, telling me they’ve got that promotion, negotiated a seismic pay rise or have moved into a role completely aligned with their mission, values and strengths. I’m a working mum of two wonderful children, adore travel and trying my hand at anything creative. I’d love to connect with you!
