How long you have
Theme · Ask and say no well
Be firm and warm at once: gentle tone, steady eyes, clear ask. Neither doormat nor bulldozer.
Softness of manner and firmness of content are not opposites. Hold the point kindly.
Ask plainly: name the facts, say how you feel, say what you want, in a few clear sentences.
Drop the hinting. State the situation, your feeling, and the request. Clear is kind.
Looking for a whole subject rather than a single practice? Start from the nine areas.
