Conversations

poeple will forget what you said, but they will not forget how you you made them feel

Good conversation tips:

• “If we had 5 mins left, what would you want to have had covered” gets to the meat earlier

• “Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the one reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

• “What would the best version of yourself do”?

• When someone confronts you w/ a problem they have with you

  • What I heard was

Whenever there is an argument between two ideas, find the third idea.

A friend asked a Busy Guy to lead a project, and instead of saying yes or rejecting it, the Busy Guy said: “I can’t commit to that, but I can commit to thinking about it, and if I come up with something I’m excited about, I’ll do it.”

Such tact in that answer.
