Difficult conversations are a fact of life at work. Delivering tough feedback to an employee, engaging with unhappy clients or telling the boss something you know they won't like to hear, we all have versions of conversations we'd like to avoid, but can't. Unfortunately, many times these conversations don't go well, and an unpleasant situation only gets worse.

We all do it. Filler words like 'um', 'ah', and 'like', creep into everyone's speech at one time or another. If it's occasional, it's really no big deal. If it happens too much, it can be distracting and cost you precious credibility in the workplace.
