Q Looking back on my career, I am conscious that I have not done as well as I could have – because I hate conflict. I know I am highly thought of at work, but I have always settled for smaller roles, where I don’t have to deal with ‘jocks’ and the rough and tumble of management. I am frustrated. I know I am capable of more but I don’t want to spend my life stressed. I want to be one of those people who lets it all wash over them, but how do I do that? Name supplied
