How You Speak With Someone Who Totally Disagrees With You



Players and coaches engage in crucial conversations. In crucial conversations, there may be a difference of opinion in any number of circumstances. But what we need to ask is, "What Do I Really Want Here?"


Asking this question will have powerful impact on our thinking.


Stop and ask yourself the following questions as reminders when you prepare for a crucial conversation:

1. What do I really want for myself?

2. What do I really want for others?

3. What do I really want for the relationship?


Once you have asked yourself what you want, add one more equally telling question:

"How would I behave if I really wanted these results?"
