When Is It Okay to Leave a Relationship?
At Crucial Learning, we offer a course around Crucial Conversations—how to communicate when opinions vary, the stakes are high, and emotions run strong. But how do you know when to disengage and walk away from a personal or professional relationship? Years ago, I was working with a gifted facilitator and consultant. She was struggling with a professional relationship she had with one of my close colleagues. Then, as now, I love and respect both of these good people.
Addressing Maternal Mortality in the US-A Pediatrics Responsibility
In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that there were 1205 maternal deaths in 2021 in the US, marking a substantial uptrend from 861 deaths in 2020 and 754 in 2019.1 This sharp 40% increase in the maternal mortality rate to 32.9 deaths per 100 000 live births from 23.8 per 100 000 in 2020 is striking because the US already had the highest maternal mortality rate among high-income countries.2 Although 2021 US maternal mortality increased across all racial and...
Responding to Underachieving Employees Who Want a Promotion
We’ve probably all known that person: they always ask for extensions on deadlines, never volunteer to help, and end their workdays early. Yet despite doing the bare minimum, they still expect performance raises and promotions. You don’t want to offend them or cause drama, but they don’t deserve what they’re asking for. If you’re like many of the managers I’ve heard from over the past few years, you’re exhausted, frustrated, and burned out. Management is hard. Really hard.
Should You Hold People Publicly Accountable?
Managers—of both people and projects—are often called upon to make tough choices. Should we invest in this technology or another? Should we hire this person or a different candidate? Should we focus our efforts on this market or an emerging one? Because so much of a manager’s work is a zero-sum game, it’s no wonder many develop binary thinking and see many choices as trade-offs. Another common polarized choice is respect or candor when dealing with team members.

When Someone Believes “Might is Right”
Dear Emily, What approach can you take when someone believes that hurting others (insulting, accusing, and so on) is good and right and helps the other person become better? This person believes it’s especially good to use anger, because it helps people remember your message more. They also believe that doing kind, considerate things is a form of approval seeking and therefore enabling and immoral. I can’t find any mutual agreement with this person, and I can’t feel respect for him.
Three Tips for Navigating Awkward Classroom Comments
You’re standing there in front of a class full of fellow employees. For the last several hours, you’ve been doing a fantastic job facilitating Crucial Conversations. There is safety in the room. Learners are readily participating and sharing insights. And then one participant shares something offensive, weird, or just plain wrong, and you aren’t quite sure how to respond. Does this scenario sound familiar? We’ve all been there.

Leaders Want Input. Employees Won’t Share It. What Can We Do?
Dear Emily, During our company meetings, leaders often try to get input on various questions but very rarely does anyone respond. It has become such an issue that the CEO recently offered $20 to anyone who contributes. That’s one issue. A second issue is that when nobody responds, leaders will often say something like, “Really?! Nobody has anything to say?!” This response doesn’t end up eliciting contributions, and I think it’s because it can feel like an attack rather than an encouragement.
Whose Story Should Take the Spotlight?
Fifteen years ago I went to Canada and had one of the most profound insights of my professional life. I was a newly minted VitalSmarts Master Trainer leading both a Crucial Conversations course and trainer certification course in London, Ontario, Canada. The facilitators in the course were and are among the most highly skilled I have ever met. At the end of the session, I laid it bare.
Try This When You’re Feeling Overworked and Overwhelmed

Some people were let go and other jobs are being moved overseas. I’m a people manager with teams in three countries. I wear many hats and am constantly behind on email and projects. I work long hours and am overwhelmed and exhausted.

How to Avoid The 3 Mistakes L&D Leaders Make When Addressing Workplace Harassment
Peter Drucker said it best: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” In the past two decades, more and more organizations have deployed strategies for reducing and eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace. The recent #MeToo movement has proven just how right Drucker was: the cultures of these organizations have devoured the most well-intended strategies. When it comes to issues that impact women in the workplace, organizations don’t mean to be bad.
Crucial Skills by VitalSmarts
Dear Justin, We are learning how to use videoconferencing as our new meeting platform. Do you have tips for facilitating meetings to promote participation and feedback, as many people seem uncomfortable because they can’t read non-verbal cues from others? Also, do you have effective methods for guiding people with interaction? No one is using the “raise hand” feature, so we often end up speaking at the same time and it’s awkward. We aren’t communicating as well as we did with in-person meetings.
