An awkward conversation can be a minefield -- one wrong move could spell disaster. The stakes are even higher within a workplace environment. Since colleagues tend to be in close quarters throughout the day, uncomfortable situations that stem from these difficult conversations can fester and lead to unhappiness for both parties. When dealing with a difficult discussion with a co-worker, it's possible that you will read the situation or tone badly, and snowball the debate into a disastrous exchange. To help you deal with difficult conversations a little easier, eight contributors to Young Entrepreneur Council offer advice on how to deal with these interactions and what things to avoid that could could be detrimental to your future career and prospects.

Company bio

Bright Ideas Only was created to get back to the basics. Taking clients, fans and communities back to the big (and little!) things that matter most: creating connections, igniting passion and sparking a-ha moments. Our clients come back time and time again for three reasons: genuine collaboration in an era of generic connection, the WHY behind our ideas and the (some say neurotic) attention to detail in our work. We’ve also been told we’re pretty fun but we’re not adding that as an official reason to the list (for now).
