A Difficult Conversation Is Anything You Find It Hard to Talk About

heart, the problem isn’t in your actions, it’s in your thinking.

Well, no. The point is this: difficult conversations are almost never about getting the facts right. They are about conflicting perceptions, interpretations, and values. They are not about what a contract states, they are about what a contract means. They are not about which child-rearing book is most popular, they are about which child-rearing book we should follow.

They are not about what is true, they are about what is important.
