At some point in your career you are definitely going to have to ask a difficult conversation or address an awkward topic with a boss or colleague. 

These awkward conversations can certainly be...awkward.

This week on the Sunday Business Show, Conall spoke to Dawn Metcalf, Author of The HardTalk Handbook about how one should deal with such situations.

From addressing an uncooperative boss, to informing a colleague that they have an unpleasant body odour, Dawn told Conall all about the right way to act.

The HardTalk Handbook also gives advice about facing the dreaded challenge of asking for a raise at work.
