When to use it
Use it to prepare a short, assertive statement about a recurring problem.
How to apply it
- Describe the specific behaviour objectively.
- Express how it affects you, calmly and in the first person.
- Specify the change you are asking for.
- State the positive consequences if the change happens.
- Rehearse it once so it sounds natural and brief.
Tip: Lead with positive consequences; threats tend to escalate the conflict.
