You're Not Patient. You're Avoidant.

You already know what it is and who it’s with. This prompt tells you why you still haven’t had it.

You already know that you’re avoiding a conversation.
Can you picture which one it is?

You know you need to have it - you should’ve had it already.

Yet here we are.

Most people think you just don’t understand you need to have the conversation, but not me. I believe in you.

The problem isn’t about awareness. The problem is that you know exactly what you need to do - who the conversation is with, what it’s about, what needs to be said - but you’re still not having it.

You’ve got reasons. I know you do.
They’re probably even good reasons.

Maybe the timing isn’t right. Or it’s not that urgent. Maybe you don’t want to damage the relationship and it’s better to handle it after this quarter, after this project, after that thing in the future works itself out.

Meanwhile all the stuff you’re not saying is taking up space. Not just in your head, but in the room every time you’re with that person. Whether you can sense it or not (and you probably can’t), it’s impacting the dynamic between you two, and turning it into a new normal that’s much more destructive than the old normal.

I’ve watched leaders avoid conversations for months. Sometimes even years. Most of them cover it in the belief that “I’m a really patient person.”

You’re not patient.
You’re avoidant.

This prompt not only points out the conversation you need to have, but it tells you exactly why you keep not having it.

You already know what needs to be said.
Let’s figure out why you’re still not saying it.
