Influence people with one simple change

It can make people defensive. It can sound like a command. It can feel like a judgement.

Instead, say: “What might…”

This invites collaboration. It keeps people open. And it can lead to better outcomes.

Try it today:

“What might you do next?”
“What might be worth exploring here?”
“What might make this easier?”

Words matter. Change one sentence. 

You might just change the outcome.
