Why preparation beats improvisation in hard conversations
Ten minutes of structured thinking changes how the first sixty seconds go.
Most difficult conversations go wrong in the opening. We lead with a conclusion the other person hasn't reached, or bury the point under so much context that it never lands.
Preparation isn't scripting. It's knowing your intended message, separating facts from interpretations and anticipating the most likely reactions — so you can stay present rather than reactive.

What am I assuming about their motives?
What do I want them to understand?
What would a good outcome look like for both of us?
