What’s the move when one partner dominates every conversation? They’re good at what they do, but their personality takes up the entire room. I’ve tried pushing back, but it always turns into a power struggle. How do you realign leadership dynamics without turning it into a personal feud?

Align on speaking roles, clear outcomes, objectives each speaker is responsible for and social contracts like "no-pile on" rules before you walk into a client meeting. We use a sales technique called as "contact planning" to nail these before hand. After the call, Immediately debrief - discuss if outcomes were met, what we could've done better and if there was drift from the social contract agreed to prior.

Makes it a data driven conversation, takes the emotion and egoic slights out of the conversation. do this consistently and eventually you start setting a pattern of behavior and boundary with this person.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
