How to deliver negative news
Delivering bad news, sometimes you have to do it too. Your six-year-old daughter's dog got run over, you have to tell your parents that you aren't going back to school, or you have to let an employee go. Do you dread these types of conversations and keep putting them off? Or do you deliver bad news bluntly? Many people will put off a difficult conversation as long as possible and have trouble finding their words when the time comes. Sounds familiar? This learning journey will make communicating bad news easier.
