Farrah's career has been built at the intersection of people, performance, and communication, and she brings a rare blend of strategic clarity and deep humanity to the conversations leaders fear most.Together, Wendy and Farrah break down:Why communication is often the true bottleneck inside organizations — and how it silently shapes trust, culture, and retention.The thin line between “getting it right” and “getting it wrong” when messaging is high-stakes, emotional, or tied to people’s livelihoods.How two companies approached layoffs — one creating confusion and trauma, the other creating advocates even in the midst of hard decisions.Farrah’s 3-step Communicating Challenges & Change Framework used by executives across industries:Identify the factsCheck your mindsetDeliver with careWhy mindset is the hidden variable — and how unspoken frustration or dread leaks into every message we deliver.A practical formula for empathy that leaders can use without diluting clarity, over-apologizing, or losing authority.How leaders can shift from fear of difficult conversations to skillful, confident delivery.This episode is a must-listen for leaders navigating performance conversations, reorganizations, role changes, or any situation where the stakes are high and emotions are real.Connect With Farra MitraLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/farrah-mitra-executive-coach/ Email: [email protected] & Resources✨ Sign up for The Culture Roadmap Workshop Series A 3-part November experience for leaders who want clarity, energy, and ownership heading into 2026.
