Mastering the art of the uncomfortable conversation | Winter Wheeler | TEDxSurreyUniversity

[avagrutel]

I've always found it so interesting how quickly people point fingers instead of trying to compromise or collaborate.

[janegeegeehogge]

The world needs more of this concept - open conversation and different opini0ns do not need to lead to argument!

[damianreed]

"Discomfort births breakthroughs" I can relate to that. Whenever I've experienced discomfort and continued having an uncomfortable conversation with my boss or my spouse the breakthroughs have been profound

[karakims]

This presentation has reminded me of the importance of expressing our feelings and truly listening to others, especially when we disagree. It's through these uncomfortable conversations that we can find resolution and move forward.

Communication is always key, and I've always found that if it's a topic that makes you feel strongly, it's a topic that needs to be discussed.

Emotional intelligence is so key to all this and something we must work on

[peytonkreese]

Most people don’t tell you how they are feeling because they don’t know how to describe their feelings. This is such an important point to consider

[alextwarburton]

this starts with so many important truths. Winter is right, the only way to ensure we have healthy connections and don't resent is through these hard convos!

[katiaromanow]

Winter you're an inspiration to all, a skilled negotiator, a lawyer and an engaging speaker.

[sapnachouhan]

I think the key to having those chats is to just be open minded, empathetic and kind. Discomfort is an emotion, and it can be chosen, just like all the rest of them

[skyec]

Foundations for uncomfortable conversations. This is wonderful.

[stanzdumas]

Oh my God, this speaker has 4 kids! Amazing! How does she manage to be a mom and have such a versatile personality

[claire-mortimer]

Having uncomfortable conversations is an excellent way to challenge yourself and check that personal growth. Can't get anywhere new if you're staying in that comfort zone.

[ermacohen]

How well did Winter articulate this. I think EVERY ONE I know could take some advice from this amazing human.

[janiceglanders]

Her message here really resonates with me, I think it's important to have those uncomfortable conversations because there's something incredibly realistic about it.

[lacylahoma]

Couldn't agree more Winter, if a conversation makes you uncomfortable it's probably worth having!!

[arnafieldsteen]

I have so much admiration for this woman. I've seen another of her talks and just the way she holds herself is enough to warrant respect.

[turkvestule]

There's so many good things on the other side of having uncomfortable conversations - stronger bonds, self-assurance, understanding. Thank you for this one Winter.

[raulcassanova]

Conversation in general is so important and something I've found that a lot of people, especially younger people, are struggling to do.

[TheJDNation]

Wonderful talk, Winter! I love how big your smile gets when you talk about how you’re now a mediator—it’s clear you’re doing something you love and it’s no surprise you’re such an expert!
