Courageous Conversation: Creating an Environment of Integrity When the Stakes are High

Creating an authentic life is a challenge in and of itself. Add family to the mix and this challenge becomes more complex and difficult. Whether you are the parent or the adult child in your family, you play a role in creating an environment of authenticity. Creating such an environment early is critical to achieving open and honest communication later in life. It is also crucial for families to raise uncomfortable matters and have tough conversations in order to prevent issues from becoming larger and causing more permanent damage.
