Guided ManoYatra tool

Difficult Conversation Planner

This is a preparation tool for a specific difficult conversation: you write what you will describe, what you are asking for, and how you will hold the line if the response is not what you hoped.

How it works

Hard conversations go wrong in the first thirty seconds more often than at any later point, usually because the opening carries more accusation than intended. The planner separates the description of what happened from the interpretation of it, then gets you to a clear ask. Rehearsing the ask out loud is the part most people skip and the part that changes the outcome.

Grounded in

DEAR MAN from DBT, Marsha Linehan, with the difficult-conversations framework of Stone and Heen.
