Professional mediator and author Greg Stephens joins Phil Phails to explore what it actually takes to repair a relationship that feels beyond saving. Greg shares the framework he's used in thousands of team mediations, the definition of respect that changed how he leads, and the difference between intent and impact that most people never learn to separate.The conversation moves through Greg's own reconciliation with his father, a story he's never fully told before, and the childhood experiences that shaped his life's work in conflict resolution. Along the way, Greg and Phil discuss accountability, the difference between control and influence, John Gottman's research on trust and betrayal, and why the hardest conversations are usually the ones worth having.This is a grounded, honest look at what it means to take ownership of your side of a rupture, whether that rupture is with a parent, a partner, a coworker, or yourself. If you've ever avoided a difficult conversation because you didn't know how to have it well, this episode offers a real place to start.Greg Stephens is the author of Build New Bridges: The Art of Restoring Impossible Relationships.#philphails #gregstephens #psychology #philosophy #mindfulness #identity #resilience #relationships #personalgrowth #performancemindset #healing #conflictresolution(66) Phil Phails @ Repair with Greg StephensAbout Greg StephensGreg Stephens is a best-selling author, leadership and relationship coach, keynote speaker, and professional mediator who helps leaders resolve relationships that have quietly become suffocating.When trust breaks down, conversations are avoided, and pressure builds, Greg guides leaders through the conversations they’ve been putting off—restoring alignment, rebuilding trust, and creating immediate relief.His book, Build New Bridges: The Art of Restoring Impossible Relationships, has helped people around the world repair relationships they once thought were beyond repair.He lives in Austin, TX, with his wife, Emily Schmitz.👉 Find Greg:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregstephens2/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gregory.stephens.58Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alignment_resources/website: https://www.alignment-resources.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ashotofinspiration3214About Phillip JonesPhillip Jones is the creator and host of Phil Phails, a podcast exploring philosophy, psychology, resilience, relationships, identity, and personal growth.Through long-form conversations and reflective solo episodes, he examines how people navigate uncertainty, meaning, suffering, discipline, and transformation.Drawing from years of personal development, psychotherapy, mindfulness practice, and ongoing study, Phillip approaches each conversation with curiosity rather than certainty.
