Prompt template
I have a hard-to-broach conversation coming up (e.g., a raise, a refusal, ending a partnership). Help me: 1) clarify my core goal and bottom line; 2) design an opening (no circling, no wounding); 3) rehearse the other side's likely reactions and my responses; 4) remind me of the landmine phrases to avoid. Situation: "describe the party and what's being discussed"
