It's often that a conversation doesn't turn difficult because either of you said the wrong thing.
It turns difficult because the conversation got stuck.
How do you get a conversation unstuck?
Without the other person shutting down.
Welcome to the Jefferson Fisher Podcast.
Wherever you're listening, if you would do me a favor, find the button
that says subscribe or follow, a thumbs up, a heart, and click it.
It doesn't cost anything, and it would really mean a big difference to me.
This is a podcast where I care, and you care, about the way we communicate.
All right, conversational quicksand.
That's what this episode is about.
You're walking along, you and the other person in the conversation, and something happens.
Quicksand.
You walk right into it and you don't even know it.
Remember when you thought, I don't know about you,
but I definitely thought quicksand was a much bigger deal, to be honest.
I thought there was quicksand everywhere.
I remember watching, it was in movies at the time.
It was terrifying.
I was like, you mean you can just walk places and you would just go fall right through it?
