Is there a tough conversation that you keep putting off because of anxiety or insecurity over how to handle it?

If so, you’re not alone.

Many people avoid difficult discussions – often to their detriment – and in this interview, we aim to tackle that issue head-on with our special guest. Sam Horn is the CEO of the Intrigue Agency, a positioning/messaging consultancy, which helps people design and deliver TEDx talks, keynotes, funding pitches, and one-of-a-kind brands. She is also the CEO of Tongue Fu! Training Institute, a trade-marked communication skills approach that teaches how to give and get respect at work, at home, online, and in public. \

Her most recent book, Talking on Eggshells: Soft Skills for Hard Conversations, received a glowing Publishers Weekly review and endorsements from Marie Forleo, Jack Canfield, Lynn Twist, JJ Virgin, Dr. Ivan Misner (founder of BNI), and Whole Foods founder John Mackey who calls it “The course-correct for today’s cancel culture.”
