He was furious, I was confused and frustrated and we were facing an 18 hour drive!  I needed help fast or this would be a disaster.  This is how I cut the tension. 

She'd put it off too long and she knew it, but this was a hard conversation that she didn't want to have with him; she was nervous.  She didn't have to be once she knew how to have a hard conversation.

He was so frustrated with her, it was the same old problem over and over again. He just wanted her to get over it and stop talking about it. He had no idea, that was what made it worse!

He would snap at me, bark answers at me... and I couldn't wait to spend time with him.

Grumpy doesn't scare me!

That's what she said, Genie, he's deeply hurt me and I can't get past it.  It was affecting her work, her family, her health.  She needed a breakthrough.  She got it!

He didn't stop there either... then he said, what qualifies you anyway?  It was an opportunity to get offended, I simply turned that opportunity down and made my difference instead.

He need clarity of what was right and what was wrong for him... or so he thought.  The real problem was his congruence. 

He thought his life was over. It was deeply painful... and he was hopeless. Until I showed him the opportunity it really was.

High Performers push themselves... hard.  They also know how essential rest is to be able to continue being productive without burning out.  But sometimes rest is NOT the thing you need to fuel your high performance...
