You know the conversation you need to have. So why haven’t you had it?Instead, I bet you're overthinking, dropping hints, changing your behaviour, talking to everyone except the person involved, or creating processes to avoid addressing the real issue.In this episode, Shelley explores why we avoid difficult conversations and challenges you to look at what you’re really afraid of: the conversation itself, or what might happen afterwards.You’ll learn how to:Recognise the respectable stories you tell yourself to justify avoidanceSeparate facts, feelings and assumptions before starting a difficult conversationTake responsibility for what you need to say without trying to control the other person’s responseBecause you cannot hold someone else accountable for a conversation you’ve only had with yourself.Your courageous challenge: identify one conversation you’ve been avoiding and ask yourself what you’re really afraid might happen if you have it.Then go have the courageous conversation.She is courageous.

AI is everywhere, but what happens when you stop using it to save time and start using it to make decisions for you?In this episode, Shelley explores the growing trend of using AI as a coach, sounding board or source of reassurance. She explains why a confident, coherent response isn’t necessarily the same as a useful answer, and why trusting yourself still matters.You’ll hear Shelley:Recognise when you’re using AI to support your thinking versus outsourcing your judgementUse AI to identify patterns, challenge assumptions and prepare for difficult conversationsQuestion whether you’re asking AI for information, perspective, reassurance, permission or a decisionAI can be an incredible tool. But it only knows the version of you that you put into the box. It doesn’t live with the consequences, and it doesn’t get to decide your life.The question is: are you asking AI to help you think differently, or asking it to take responsibility for what you do next?Listen now, and remember: she is courageous, and she is you.Check out the episodes I mentioned here:Is AI gradually replacing your voice?Youtube EpisodeYou're Not Using AI Wrong, But You Are Thinking About It Wrong with Abha Malpani NaismithYoutube EpisodeCONNECT WITH SHELLEYShelley Bosworth is a Business Leadership & Mindset Expert for founders and senior leaders who look successful on the outside and feel the pressure on the inside.
