What it does
Most of us plan a hard talk from our own side. We know what we want and what we will say, and we assume the other person is simply in the way. They then defend themselves, and the talk goes nowhere. This skill turns the picture round before you plan anything. It lists what the person wants in this matter, marks each line as known or a guess, and writes the honest reason a fair person in their place would act the same way. It names what they stand to gain and lose and finds the point where they are right. Then it works out how they could change their mind without looking foolish. Every guess comes with a question you can ask to check it.
You give it
- The person, and your relationship to them
- The matter in a few lines, with what happened so far
- What you want from them
- Anything they have said or done that shows what they care about (optional)
You get
- What they want, in their words, each line marked known or guess
- The fair reason they act as they do, and where they are right

- Questions to ask them to check the guesses
