Danielle Cosme (2 of 2): The Role of Communication in Conflict, Challenges, and Beyond.
Episode Description
In the concluding segment with Danielle, she brings a real event to the table for us to analyze that connects to the episode's major theme of communication. The conversation reveals the challenges of growth including how our relationships to others changes as we embrace a new way of doing things. Change can often be unsettling for others, especially within the context of the workspace. Co-workers cling to the expectations for things to remain relatively the same including people's behaviors, attitudes, communication style, etc. In the situation Danielle describes, one can see that enacting such changes can also result in unforeseen consequences. For example, Danielle is now presented with the challenge of evaluating her relationship to her co-worker, debating if the changes are beneficial or destructive, and/or thinking about alternative ways in which to respond in the future. I thank Danielle for sharing the details of the event, being vulnerable on the mic, and allowing us to analyze it.
