Episode 92 – How To Speak Up When You’re Scared Of A Fallout

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Have you ever stayed quiet to avoid a conflict, but later felt frustrated that you didn’t speak up?

Watch on YouTube:

Listen on Spotify:

Many people fear a fallout, the emotional reaction, backlash, or relationship tension that may follow honest communication.

In this episode, Angela and Patti explore how to find your voice even when that fear rises.

What Is a Fallout?

A fallout is the emotional or relational aftermath when communication leads to:

  • Hurt feelings
  • Misunderstanding
  • Anger or withdrawal
  • Blame or retaliation
  • Changes in trust or connection

Avoiding hard conversations can create resentment and emotional distance.

Silence can feel like the safest option until it starts to hurt.

The best way to prevent a fallout is to communicate early and with empathy.

By learning to communicate early, set boundaries, and resolve concerns with confidence before resentment and conflict build, this can help prevent fallout.

Reflection Question:

What small conversation have I been avoiding that would help prevent bigger conflicts later?

Podcast Episode 11 – Tips and Tricks When Working With Someone You Don’t Like!

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Angela and Patti share communication tips on how to stay in a job and manage complicated relationships.  How do you ask yourself questions to determine how to manage your emotions?  To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

What does this meme tell you?

Take a look at yourself.  
Is the relationship problem really with you?  
What is it about this person that triggers you?  
Is it past behavior? Do they remind you of someone?  Do they remind you of something you don’t like within yourself?

Angela: Is this a group issue, or is it just for you? Do others in the workplace share your issue? This points to something missing in the group environment.

Use the PAUSE and REFLECT Technique
PAUSE for three to five seconds before responding.  This gives you time to change your response or not respond at all.

What if you receive a nasty passive/aggressive email from your boss or coworker?  
Before responding to the email, write out your response.  Please don’t send it!  Walk away for a while.  Sleep on it, if you don’t have to respond within the same day.  Then rewrite it when you have calmed down.  Have someone else read it that you trust to help tone it down before hitting the send button. 

What to consider:

Should I stay at my current employment or move on?

Make a list of “why to stay” and “why to go”.  Be upfront and honest. No holding back from the truth of the matter! Look at which column has the most reasons?  Make your decision from there.  Is there a good reason to stay?  Or reasons to leave.

Keeping your cool in the office! (survival tips on handling difficult situations)

Keeping Your Cool Survival Tips

Keeping your cool in the office! (survival tips on handling difficult situations).

Summer is here and it is extremely hot outside (especially in Arizona)☀️.  Patience is out the door this time of year.  At 6:00 in the morning you are getting into your vehicle to go to work and you burn your hands on the steering wheel because you forgot to put up your sun shade screen on your dash-board.  Ouch! 🔥 Not a good way to start your day.  You are probably thinking 6:00 am in the morning and needing a sun shade?  In Arizona the summer temperatures may hit a high of 117 degrees and morning temperatures in the 80’s and 90’s.

Okay, let’s get back to keeping your cool in the office.

How do you keep your cool in the office when you are feeling stressed and tempers are flaring?

This is one that I definitely struggle with myself as a leader, especially when you are dealing with a variety of personalities, some very bad attitudes and poor work performance behaviors.  To be honest there are times when I have failed miserably at keeping my cool.

Here are some tips and strategies to put into action when those tempers are starting to flare.

  • Take a deep breath and walk away for a few minutes.
  • Take a couple of minutes to pray and/or journal about your frustration.
  • Go get something to drink; like a large glass of cold ice water.  Sip slowly.
  • Practice deep relaxation breathing to clear your mind and to calm those feelings of anger and/or dis-satisfaction about the situation.
  • Think about a person you admire and how they would handle the situation.
  • Remind yourself to focus on solutions.
  • Don’t respond in writing until you have calmed down, edited and revise the email or correspondence to be in a professional non-adversarial tone.  Wait until the next day when you have time to sleep on it and reflect about the incident as well as coming up with some agreeable solutions.

The next time you feel your temperature rising and wanting to react unfavorably put these tips and strategies into action.  Sometimes just walking away can make a tremendous difference to your work environment and relationships.  You know the old saying, “You may not be able to control someone’s negative behavior but you can control how long you participate in it”. ~ Unknown
