Hannah Rose on why you don't need to turn every problem into a difficult conversation. She describes firing someone and talks about anticipatory anxiety, arguing that being direct, kind, and grounded matters more than treating everything like a major conflict.
there have been a handful of difficult conversations that I've had to have since being in group practice. And I also think part of the reason for that is that not everything has to be a difficult conversation. So there have been endless things that I've had to address or follow up on, but they haven't felt like difficult conversations or these ginormous conflicts. I've only had to let one person go. The level of anticipatory anxiety that I was experiencing was high, and the conversation itself, I was able to be grounded and present and direct and clear and kind and compassionate, but also boundaried.
