Summary

Everyone has to handle a slippery egg from time to time. Just remember 3 simple strategies for having a difficult conversation:

First, be sure to pick a time to talk that is good for both of you.

Second, be sure to select a place that is private and free from distractions. Having a difficult conversation in front of students or in the teacher’s lunch room is not conducive to being open and honest.

Third, it’s important to start difficult conversations with something that is positive and genuine.

Slippery egg conversations can be difficult. But your commitment to having them can help you build a strong, positive working relationship with your partner.
