Who do you turn to when you need to have a difficult conversation in your workplace? At Booz Allen, our go-to is the Employee Relations Investigations team, but where you work that group or person might be referred to by another name. Whatever the case may be, you don't have to navigate a difficult conversation alone.

A trusted peer, manager, or other colleague might be your best best in thinking through how you want to hold space for a difficult conversation, or how to better understand how you can participate in one. If you use Mario's tips in this episode in your own difficult conversation, let us know how it goes!
