Broken relationships don't have to stay that way. Communication expert Greg Stephens reveals the transformative power of properly structured conversations in this eye-opening discussion about relationship restoration.
Drawing from his 25 years of experience working with couples, corporate leaders, and families, Greg shares the universal principles that make or break human connections. At the heart of his approach is a profound shift in perspective: "Most of the time when there's a problem, we focus on the problem and forget about the person." This simple insight forms the foundation for rebuilding what often seems beyond repair.
The conversation explores Greg's personal journey of reconciliation with his father—a powerful story that demonstrates how staying emotionally present during difficult conversations can completely transform outcomes. Rather than reacting defensively when his father expressed disappointment, Greg employed the "human superpower" of absorbing tough messages through curiosity rather than defensiveness. "Questions turn the brain back on," he explains, offering practical techniques anyone can use when emotions threaten to derail important conversations.
Perhaps most compelling is Greg's framework for personal accountability: "Everything in my life I create, promote, or allow." This philosophy removes victimhood from relationship dynamics and places the power for change squarely in our hands. When trust has been broken, he advises against blame, instead recommending inquiry and understanding. For those moments when conversations go sideways, Greg offers a simple reset technique that can instantly shift the energy: "Stop. This is not what I want to do. My intent in talking about this is..." followed by your genuine positive motive.
