Meet Priya
Before you have the conversation.
She knows what she needs to say. She keeps asking how their weekend was.
She’s keeping the peace. What is that asking her to keep quiet about?
Priya has the first sentence ready before she reaches the meeting. Then someone asks about her weekend, and she asks about theirs.
Twenty minutes later, the meeting ends. She has been pleasant, helpful, and quiet about the one thing she came to discuss.
She is not looking for a fight. She wants the extra work she keeps absorbing to stop arriving as if she has already agreed.
A perfect opening will not guarantee a comfortable conversation. A clear request can at least give it a direction.
Priya writes down one change she wants to ask for, then requests time to discuss it. The conversation is still ahead. It no longer has to begin with a speech.
The question worth sitting with
What needs to be different after this conversation?
