What it does
Hard talks go wrong when each side prepares a reply instead of listening. The other person then spends the whole time trying to be heard, and nothing moves. This skill plans the talk in an order that works against that. It sets a calm place and a way to give them the floor. It lists the urges you will feel to defend yourself and a quiet response to each. It writes phrases that show you understood and a check that they feel heard. Only then does it plan your side, stated once, then two curious questions and a next step.
