The real conversation is coming.
Pick the person you need to face. Describe what's at stake. Then have the conversation — text or voice — in a space where there are no consequences for getting it wrong. Before you start, you'll see the financial stakes — what this conversation is actually protecting or fighting for. The coaching debrief after tells you exactly what to do differently when it counts.
