Prepare for a difficult conversation

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"

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into Claude or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
