3.Set the stage. Preparation of a sensitive topic will allow control to remain with the speaker. Keeping conversations to the point will avoid awkwardness and discourage arguments.
1st Line Global recommends selecting a private setting to avoid interruptions. It is also important to keep business conversations in a business setting to hold clarity of importance.
4.Be direct and clear. Be sure that a message is received loud and clear. Misunderstandings can cause confusion and require readdressing situations.
1st Line Global states that business owners need to feel confident delivering a message, so using empathy can be a great way to initially approach a subject.

1st Line Global claims business owners need to feel confident delivering a message and by being firm in the first instance, it will reduce the need for a repeat conversation.
