Beyond Safe Topics: Handling Difficult Conversations with Grace and Intention

This conversation is a masterclass in handling sensitive subjects with grace, authenticity, and purpose.   In this episode, we'll explore: Why having a platform means having a responsibility to address challenging topics, not just easy ones The difference between performative vulnerability and vulnerability in service of something larger How to prepare for and navigate difficult conversations with respect, dignity, and educational intent The reason brave voices matter more than safe voices, and how addressing controversial topics can strengthen rather than hurt your speaking career   More from Tricia  Transform your expertise into a speaking legacy inside The Big Talk Academy Join me LIVE for my Free Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
