So often in life we need to communicate something difficult to someone and we don’t know how to say it. The communication could be to a close friend, family member or a work colleague. The subject may be trivial but important enough that there needs to be a resolution around the topic that continues to arise. The challenge is how to be tactful and speak one’s truth.
