What do you do in difficult situations?

It depends on the situation. If I know a situation is likely to be difficult I will try to prepare as best I can by reading up on the subject matter or trying to understand the other person's viewpoint. During the situation I try to stay calm and present my point across clearly whilst also listening to the views of others.
