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.
