Coaching, reloaded - Coaching question of the day #53. - Difficult questions

In a world where white lies are often the norm and "creative" ways of avoiding "difficult" questions are celebrated in movies, songs, and books, what can we do differently?

A "difficult question" is difficult in the eye of the beholder, not difficult per se.
If we think that a question will be difficult to answer... it will be difficult, and probably very unpleasant.
If we think that a question is complex and will require some reflection, and yet giving an honest answer is possible, that's what will happen.

[Let's be honest...
Honesty can be scary. At first]

Coaching question of the day: 
"Which "difficult question" can receive an honest answer today?"
