There is no more time to put it off—you have to have that difficult conversation. It is possible the person you need to talk to will be angry, resentful, or just shut down; but you don’t have to leave feeling upset or inadequate. You want people to stretch their limits, but your conversations meant to help them often fall flat or backfire, creating more resistance than growth.
