Do you avoid difficult conversations hoping they resolve themselves?  This week I explore the cost of avoiding difficult conversations, the benefit from having them and how to prepare for them with my guest Nicole Posner.  During the conversation we look at:

·        What is classed as a difficult conversation & why we avoid them.

·        Where we, as business owners, encounter difficult conversations.

·        The cost to the business of not having difficult conversations.

·        The benefits from having these conversations.

·        How we can prepare ourselves for difficult conversations.

·        How difficult conversations impact our relationships around money.
