In the words of John Mayer, “Say what you need to say.” Or…don’t?

In our day-to-day lives, we often think of the words left unsaid. How else could I have handled that micro-aggression at work? Did I do the right thing in seeking out help? These questions, and many more, come up during our conversations on times when a confrontation could either bring you a sense of closure or just mean prolonged awkwardness every day at work. We talk about how power dynamics and confrontations play out in a professional setting, often affecting people with marginalized identities the most.
