When was the last time you tackled the elephant in the room?

I was chatting yesterday with someone who mentioned they've been using my video on 'handling the baggage' to equip their team for upcoming negotiations. It reminded me just how crucial it is to acknowledge and manage the emotional baggage we carry - our own and others' - in the conversations that matter.

Could this be timely for your team right now?

What about for a stakeholder conversation you’ve got coming up?

Remember:

❌ Baggage kills deals

⚠️ Baggage contaminates collaboration

🚨 "Baggage is as bad as it gets, deal with it or you'll get nowhere" (Jim Camp)

In short: If you don’t handle the baggage, it will handle you.
