Is it possible to conduct layoffs in a way that’s respectful and compassionate?
According to Summer, there definitely is.

- Why the layoff conversations often seems too scripted and impersonal
- How to manage risk while still being human
- The importance of transparency and treating employees like grown ups
- How to think about supporting employees through the transition
- How to manage your own emotions if you’re the one delivering the bad news
Dr. Summer Miller is the CEO of SDM Integrative Consulting, where she helps businesses navigate change and growth without leaving people behind. Her approach is to help leaders integrate people-centered practices so their employees want to be part of the future they are building.

She brings over 25 years of experience, including executive positions in HR, change, and transformation at U.S. Bank, and more recent work with small to mid-market businesses.

She is an educator at heart and teaches master’s courses through the University of Minnesota and the University of Denver.

SUMMARY:
**Trigger Warning: Discussion of trauma, sexual abuse**
What happens when you learn a family member has been experiencing sexual abuse? What do you do if there’s no one to talk to about it? On this week’s podcast, Lucie and Chris welcome Keeper Catran-Whitney, child sexual abuse activist who, in 1977, learned that his stepfather had been sexually abusing his four sisters for years. After forty-five years of living with this guilt and shame, he eventually began healing by finding the courage to talk about trauma and heal his wounds and relationship with his sisters.
Key Takeaways:
Unlike direct victims of sexual abuse, there are much less, if any, resources to help brothersOften times, they also experience trauma as a result of learning these things and need support as wellFinding people you know and trust to talk with is an important step in healingAs the lone voice speaking on the emotional trauma brothers experience after learning their sisters have been sexually abused, Keeper is a highly sought-after speaker, author, and advocate for brothers in the child sexual abuse/survivor’s space.
Six years before his four sisters were sexually abused, Keeper was sexually abused almost daily by his babysitter for six months at age seven. He understands both sides of the sexual abuse coin – the damaged and the collateral damaged. Keeper speaks on the mental and emotional challenges brothers suffer around child sexual abuse in the family.
When not elevating brother’s voices in the child sexual abuse conversation, Keeper enjoys watching movies and anime with his wife and children. His favorites are Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academy, Deamon Slayer, Trigun, Full Metal Alchemist, One-Punch Man, and SPY x FAMILY.

We love communication here at the Art and Science of Difficult Conversations. In fact, that’s our tagline, “Communicate better, live better”. But in the pursuit of more open and transparent communication, does the pendulum swing too far in the opposite direction? Are there times when we don’t need to communicate about a topic?
That’s our focus today, when we have a lively dialogue with Ahad just about that topic, are there times we should hold off on communicating?
Ahad is originally from Pakistan and currently lives in the Netherlands as a data consultant working with organizations to get more intentional and persuasive with their data to make decisions. He also hosts his own podcast, The Weekly Vasl.

What can you say if your wife wants a separation? Or a divorce?
If you’re like most men, you’ll feel blindsided and/or you’ll immediately try to figure out how to solve this problem. Unfortunately, that’s actually not the right way to approach it at all.
In this week’s episode, Lucie and Chris talk with Randy, an experienced relationship coach focused on helping separated husbands reconnect with their wives. His faith-based methods center around growing closer to Christ and becoming the best version of ourselves, which provides the greatest chance of reconciling marriages.
Here he shares his best tips, including:
Why talking about it may not actually be the best option
How problem-solving approaches don’t work What it means to actually be a better person, and not just doing it for your spouse.Randy collaborates with professionals, business owners, and executives. Good men who accept responsibility for their part in the breakdown of their marriage and seek to reconnect with their wives. Through live sessions and actionable strategies, Randy and his coaches support them while holding them accountable, ensuring their relationships improve.
Before coaching, Randy was a professional comedy magician/juggler on cruise ships all over the world. His previous experience in the “funny business” helps lighten the mood when discussing the serious topics of separation and divorce, and helps husbands realize that, with Christ, there is ALWAYS hope.Connect with Randy here:
