Inspired by @ETSshow and @ChrisLMosher, a #medtwitter #thread on “6 tactics to improve difficult conversations”

I do not suggest that I am the best communicator in difficult conversations. @BossletMD may tell you the opposite. But this is something I reflect on and work hard at to improve.

I credit @vitaltalk for helping me notice my incompetence in these areas almost a decade ago.

Like a forest fire, it is often a catalyst for new growth.

So avoiding conflict at all costs is folly and a way to lead to let things fester.
