🙅🏻‍♂️Because of a deep-rooted fear of upsetting others, I’ve always avoided conflict. Through the years, my misguided belief that conflict avoidance was a healthy way of dealing with problems caused me and my relationships - both personal and professional - to unnecessarily suffer.

Real connections and growth happens when we choose to embrace and give the unfiltered truth.
