Emerson discusses the transformative power of respectful communication in sharing hard truths. He explores why our intentions can be overshadowed by disrespectful tone or attitude, and how adopting unconditional respect can improve our interactions. Through practical advice and real-life testimony, learn how to speak with empathy and timing, and why choosing silence or delaying a message might sometimes be the best approach to maintaining harmony in relationships.

Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D.
Author, Speaker, Pastor

  1. How does your tone impact the effectiveness of your communication, especially when sharing difficult truths? 
  2. Can you recall a time when choosing silence or delaying a conversation improved the outcome? 
  3. How do you differentiate between a moment to assert a hard truth and a moment to practice restraint? 
  4. In what ways can recognizing goodwill in your partner’s feedback change your response to criticism?
