You don’t need a louder voice. You need a clearer one.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Volume is what people reach for when the point is not sharp. Talking over someone gets you the floor for a moment and rarely gets you agreement, because nobody has yet worked out exactly what you are asking for. A quiet sentence that names the specific thing tends to land harder than a loud paragraph circling it.

Before the next conversation where you need something, write your point in one sentence, including what you want to happen. Say that sentence first rather than building up to it. If it will not fit in a sentence, you are not ready to have the conversation yet.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Where do you raise your volume instead of your clarity?
