Status Updates From Anxiety at Work: 8 Strategi...

“When the going gets tough, make sure you don’t backpedal, change your message in an attempt to diffuse the situation, or start talking too much to fill silences or plow through the conversation. You want to give the person adequate time to digest what you are saying.”

“A key difference between unhealthy perfectionism and healthy striving is being able to define realistic expectations and knowing when to say “that’s good enough.”


I really like how they added possible conversation options especially between a leader/teammate. It feels like Crucial Conversations so I end up highlighting lots for future use if need be

“You HAVE a problem; YOU are not the problem.”

Debatable — but with the current context, I like the sentiment.

“Awesome. Carry on. See you next quarter.”

Love the convo between Verhun and Chairman. I strive to be as inspiring as the chairman in that convo.

“In addition, you could suggest she read the book Crucial Conversations”

Ayyyy love that they suggested it too!!
