GirlTip #30: Difficult Conversations Take Practice

We don't wake up one day knowing how to have difficult conversations. It's a skill, like riding a bike, and it takes practice. The next time you have to confront someone, practice first. Coach someone you trust to react and play out a scene. You'll be calmer and smarter in the real moment. And hey, if Serena can do it on Gossip Girl (in the recent episode when she sat with Rufus and practiced telling her Mom she didn't want to go to Brown), you can, too.
