April 16, 2023A practical method to approaching tough conversations, rather than avoiding or attacking.
I liked how the booked opened and closed with the same personal story/example, with very differentiated outcomes.
The BUILD Method is presented in ways that it can be used for everything from how you react when your kids leave dishes in the sink (or husband leaves his tea bag), to self-reflection, to challenging conversations in the workplace, specifically bullying and racism. This breadth is helpful to illustrate how we can use it.
Another acronym outlined that I will use is GIFT, which is helping in learning to receive, possibly difficult to hear, feedback…Grateful for Insight, this is True for Them. Love the way this frames it.
I also really liked the chart descriptions on being rude, mean and bullying as they give clarity in a practical way.
Great resource.
