    At some stage, we will find ourselves having to have a difficult conversation – whether it be with a team member, our Manager, a Director, or even a customer. For many people, if they had a choice, they would rather avoid that conversation and hope that the ‘issue’ simply blows over.

We need to learn to lean in to these conversations.
