Every career brings moments we’d rather avoid. Whether it’s delivering bad news, raising concerns about a colleague, speaking to a family member, or having an honest conversation with a member of your team, difficult discussions are part of working life.

While they’re rarely easy, these conversations often shape us as professionals. They can build trust, strengthen relationships and remind us of the importance of empathy, honesty and compassion.

What’s the hardest conversation you’ve ever had at work, and what did it teach you?
