“I had a difficult conversation with a colleague last week that I am 100% sure I would not have been able to have if not for that workshop. The conversation absolutely needed to happen, but having the tools to get it started (and having had the ability to have a mock difficult conversation) made something that is never going to be easy somehow easier.”
