"How to Have a Carefrontation feat. Kathleen Booth" (Creator's Block, Ep. 68)

By Liz Murphy

"How to Have a Carefrontation feat. Kathleen Booth" (Creator's Block, Ep. 68)

Marcella is off this week, so I invited Kathleen Booth -- IMPACT's VP of Marketing and the host of our Inbound Success Podcast (check it out!) -- to join me once again.

Our topic? One of the most powerful communication techniques Kathleen taught me back in the day at Quintain, which also has the worst name in the history of space and time: the carefrontation.

Yes, it's a goofy word. But if you work on a team or you're a people manager -- or have any aspirations of the latter -- you need to know how to give and receive carefrontations.

So, what is a carefrontation? Why do they work, and how do you have one? That's what we dissect in this episode.

Enjoy!
