Being Nice Won’t Save You in Difficult Conversations

Being nice won’t save you — especially in conflict.

Too often, we think if we’re agreeable enough, people will treat us better or listen more. But that’s not how it works. In this episode, I talk about why “nice” people often get steamrolled in difficult conversations, the difference between being nice and being respectful, and how respectful firmness is actually the real power move.
