What’s at Stake When We Avoid Difficult Conversations?
Whether you advise clients, lead teams, or build companies, difficult conversations show up in every part of professional life. Leadership is often measured in the conversations we're willing to have, especially the hard ones. In this focused and practical talk, Mante Molepo explores why these conversations can feel uncomfortable, how avoiding them can erode trust and credibility, and what it takes to lead with clarity and purpose. Drawing on a simple, values-based framework, Mante offers strategies to help professionals navigate difficult, often divisive, conversations; and how to create space for dialogue that builds stronger relationships and more resilient organizations.
