On Today's Episode: When was the last time you got into an argument? Have you been avoiding certain groups of people because the environment is so toxic? Have you caught yourself wondering after a conversation if you, in fact, were the one being difficult with someone else? While each scenario is different, the solution is nearly the same, and it requires you to show up as your best self even when it\u2019s difficult. We can\u2019t control other people\u2019s emotions and responses but we are in control of our own. Leading with kindness when you encounter difficult people is the best way to ensure that you have meaningful relationships and conversations with others. You\u2019re not always going to agree, but you can disagree and seek to understand where you may be wrong to make sure you have the healthiest relationships with family, friends, and teammates.\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | Introduction\n1:34 | Toxicity In the Family\n8:12 | Aggressive People In Denial\n13:15 | Can\u2019t Accept They\u2019re Wrong\n17:41 | Steel Man the Argument\n23:16 | Dealing With Obnoxious People\n26:32 | Know If You\u2019re Being Difficult\n29:00 | Keep Arguments Grounded\n33:49 | Give People Space To Process\n36:07 | Ending Difficulty for Harmony\n\nFollow Tom Bilyeu:\nWebsite: https://impacttheory.com/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomBilyeu\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tombilyeu\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
