At some point, we all will need to have a difficult conversation with a spouse, co-worker, friend, or relative. When pertaining to legal matters, a discussion can quickly turn to hostile confrontation. According to the Huffington Post the most important way
to handle a conversation is to speak authentically and truthfully.
Prior to addressing a difficult issue, you may feel anxious or
afraid. Visualizing the conversation can help you organize your thoughts, allowing you to effectively state your points. Likewise, imagining the sense of relief you will feel once the conversation is over will help ease nerves.
Look at the conversation as an opportunity to be honest. Help the other person understand how you feel by using phrases such as ,"I feel like this, when you do this". This eliminates the pointing of blame and is especially effective in preventing a person from becoming defensive.
Finally, find a style of communication that best fits you and your converser. Some positive and constructive communication styles
include being direct, slightly assertive, friendly, clear, open, responsive and
honest.
