On today's episode, we decided to stay close to home and invite Charolette Cascioli, Nextra's HR Director and Martin Horsman, one of our resident Business Coaches to talk to Grant about a "crucial" topic. No one likes difficult conversations. But they are necessary and they're important for the health of businesses, relationships and mental wellbeing. The book Crucial Conversations is designed to give you the tools to handle these conversations with confidence, care, and clarity, making it safe to talk about almost anything and be persuasive, not abrasive. Today, Grant talks to Charolette and Martin about the book, these tools, and the education Nextra has developed to teach these lessons in a practical way.
