Worried about a courageous conversation that you know you need to have? Talk to one or two people about it for an objective perspective. But who should you talk to?

Firstly, someone you trust, who you know can keep this as a ‘cul-de-sac conversation’.

Secondly, are they someone whose opinion, expertise and experience you respect?

Lastly, it’s a bonus if they know the person and the context, but not as important as the first two criteria.
