Managers - What’s a hard workplace conversation?


Hey there, Reader,

You know the kind of conversation I’m talking about…

😬 The one where emotions run high.
😡 Where opinions clash.
😓 Where you walk in confident—and walk out questioning everything.

That’s a difficult conversation.


And whether you're managing a team, collaborating with a colleague, or navigating feedback with your boss… we all face them.

You’re not alone in this.

Mastering hard conversations doesn’t mean you won’t feel nervous or emotional—it means you’re ready anyway. Equipped. Grounded. Purposeful.

So I’d love to know:

👉 What’s been the most challenging conversation you've had at work?

Hit reply and share your story with me—or just hit the heart if this hit home. ❤️

You might be surprised how many leaders feel exactly the way you do.

We’re all here learning. Growing. Facing the hard stuff—together.

Hey, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! Some situations drain you before they even begin. You feel it in your chest, in your gut, in your bones. That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom. It’s your intuition saying, “Protect your energy.” And I couldn’t agree more. ✨ Not everything deserves your time. ✨ Not every conflict deserves your voice. ✨ Not every message deserves a reply. You’re allowed to say NO. You’re allowed to walk away from drama and toxic conversations without an ounce of guilt. You’re...

Lead with your presence, not just your words. Hey, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! You don’t have to have the perfect response.You don’t have to rescue, react, or rush. In fact, one of the most underrated leadership skills is this:Being fully present while someone else speaks. Not planning your reply.Not mentally checking out.Not jumping in with “Well, here’s what I think…” Just holding space. Listening like it matters—because it does. Here’s a shift to try today:When someone comes to you...

Speak Up. Stay Calm. Still Be Heard. Hey, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! Ever had someone open up to you… and you immediately tried to fix it? Totally normal. You care. You’re wired to help. But here’s a little leadership truth: 🧠 You don’t always need to fix it. Sometimes, your presence is the most powerful thing in the room. Your silence might be the most healing thing you offer today. Not silence as in tuning out. I mean focused, intentional, judgment-free listening. When someone is...
