Being a leader means having courageous conversations, even when they feel uncomfortable. It means leaning into the fear and doing what’s right for the benefit of the whole team. While these conversations get easier with practice, even the most experienced leaders benefit from thoughtful preparation.

In this week's Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast episode, Lucy and Juliet walk you through how to prepare for difficult conversations, step by step. From the moment you sense the need to address an issue, to navigating the conversation itself and beyond, listen in for practical tips to guide you through the process.

Hybrid working is a relatively new way of working. We are all still navigating how to structure it so it plays to the strengths of individuals and teams and delivers results for the business. However, we already know the principles for good team work. They apply to good team work in the hybrid world too - we just have to be more considered about implementing them.
