[Encore!] Scripts for the Hard Stuff: What to Say When It's Awkward, Emotional, or Personal

In this encore episode of the Culture Focused Practice Podcast, Dr. Tara Vossenkemper brings back one of her personal favorites: Scripts for the Hard Stuff. Originally part of a conflict miniseries, this episode dives into the messy, uncomfortable, and emotionally charged conversations that every leader faces — and offers real, usable language to help you navigate them.

Whether you’re giving feedback, addressing cultural misalignment, or following up after a tense moment, this episode gives you grounded, non-cringey ways to open the conversation, hold space in the middle of it, and wrap with clarity.

Because leadership isn’t about being fearless. It’s about being prepared when the fear shows up.
