Welcome to our 10th episode! This week, Dr. Alan Snyder, a physical therapist in New York City, talks about how he handles difficult communication challenges with his patients. I even manage to solicit a little free medical advice from Dr. Snyder that I think will be helpful to anyone who needs a doctor.
If you need a physical therapist and you live in the NYC area, you can find Dr. Snyder on his website at http://www.breakawayphysicaltherapy.com.

Some of the most difficult conversations take place between medical professionals and their patients. In this first part of a two-part episode, patient advocate and long-time surgical nurse Antra Kathleen Boyd talks about how we can better manage those conversations and achieve the best possible outcome for everyone involved. And next week, physician Alan Snyder will join us to give us a health care provider's perspective.

If you’re like me, doctor appointments may fill you with dread – especially if you’re experiencing a serious medical condition. Those conversation are among the most difficult many of us will experience, for both patients and doctors.
But fear not! Our guest today is Dr. Toyosi Onwuemene, a hematologist and associate professor of medicine at Duke University. Toyosi explains how doctors approach those difficult conversations with patients and the skills and techniques they use to provide as much comfort and information as possible. She also offers tips on how patients can make the most out of the little time they have to interact with their doctors and ask questions.
You can learn more about Toyosi and her practice here. She also runs a website called Coag Coach devoted to educating patients about hematology and hematologic disorders.
A quick programming note: we’re going on summer hiatus next week, so this will be the last new episode of WTSWTGT until the fall. Please check back because I plan to share some “best of” episodes over the next few months.

Today we wrap up my conversation with Deborah Driggs, insurance agent, mother, former model and actress, and Playboy’s centerfold in March 1990.
We discuss the role that fear plays when communicating in difficult situations. Deborah also shares how she learned not to take no for an answer as a senior in high school when she convinced her high school government teacher to let her pass a class she had never attended by staying up all night to write a paper summarizing the class’s entire textbook.
She used that experience to develop her “No means maybe” philosophy that has helped drive her success as an actress, model, investor, and insurance agent. Enjoy!

Our guest today is Victoria Broehm, senior director of communications at the American Feed Industry Association. AFIA is the world's largest organization devoted exclusively to representing the U.S. animal food industry and its suppliers. That puts AFIA and Victoria right in the middle of a diverse array of ongoing issues and sudden crises.
Victoria shares a ton of practical advice on managing issues and responding to crises, including the role that third parties can play in effective response, the importance of a scenario-based approach to crisis communications planning, and the advantages of engaging your entire organization in crisis preparation and response.
And listen to the end for a fascinating fact about Victoria and her family to wash it all down.

We wrap up our encore in-depth look at the CODE for trust and credibility by exploring the role the dedication and expertise play in helping people determine whether you're a trustworthy and credible source of information.
And please look for a Best Of replay of the episode entitled The Credibility Gender Gap, which I think will be even more interesting now that we've completed our journey through the CODE.

As promised, here is the encore episode where we discuss the "O" in the CODE for credibility.
The need to be open and honest may be obvious, but it can still trip you up in a difficult situation. In this episode, we discuss how to bolster this portion of your overall CODE score. Plus, I answer a question from a listener that I get all the time from family and friends: Is President Trump a trustworthy and credible person?

My apologies for not getting a new episode up last week. To make it up to you, I'm going to re- publish four episodes from way back at the beginning of What to Say When Things Get Tough on the four elements of the CODE for Credibility, beginning today with C Is for Caring. I'll re-publish the other three this week and next, leading up to an all-new episode on Thursday, October 27. Enjoy!
All the usual thanks and requests!

I’m very excited about this first original episode of our third season because our guest is my good friend and long-time colleague, Howard Menaker. Howard spent 18 years as a public relations and public affairs manager for Bechtel Corporation, the global engineering and construction giant.
While we start off talking about lessons that Howard learned over the course of his career about the most effective ways to communicate in difficult situations, we also delve into how those same lessons can be applied to – and drawn from – personal struggles as well. Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 3 of What to Say When Things Get Tough! We kick off this season with a re-broadcast of a podcast I joined as a guest over the summer.
Amy Stone, an expert in successfully navigating the often turbulent waters associated with blended families, held a back-to-school summit and, because I’m a member of a very large blended family, she invited me to discuss how my fiancé and I handle medical appointments, school meetings, practices and other activities.
You can learn more about Amy’s work at www.amysayso.com. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Our guest today is Jeffery Davis, actor, speaker and transformational life coach. Before I could even hit “record,” Jeffery got right to the heart of the matter when it comes to breaking through and connecting with people who may be angry, worried and suspicious of what you have to say. So, we jump right into our conversation without the usual pleasantries.
During the interview Jeffery mentions the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tool for Healthy Relationships.
One quick show note: This will be our last new episode before I take my summer break. I may post some re-runs and perhaps some brief, new content over the next couple of months, but looks for new episodes when we get back to normal business operations after Labor Day.
