I have a question about the episode Sheila Heen — How to Navigate Hard Conversations, the Subtle Art of Apologizing, and More and the clip Navigating Difficult Conversations. I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, I have a weird relationship with this one manager at work.
