A courageous conversation is considered a discussion that is often difficult and uncomfortable. There are often emotions on both sides of the conversation.
There are many personal and team reasons for having courageous conversations.
Personal reasons for courageous conversations usually centre around emotional hurt, broken trust, unmet expectations, and the need to express feelings. The goal is to restore trust, set boundaries, and improve clarity, while the risks involve vulnerability, escalation, and potentially damaging the relationship.
Team reasons focus on communication breakdowns, accountability, trust, and conflict resolution. The intention is to improve team dynamics, boost morale, and clarify roles, while the risks include team tension, resistance, and escalating conflict.
This survey is designed to help you identify both personal and team-related reasons for engaging in courageous conversations. By reflecting on these signs, you'll be better equipped to recognise when such conversations are needed for positive change.
