Just Tell Me What You Want

Many of us go through life without expressing our needs or desires. We expect others to understand what we want without ever telling them. None of us are skilled mind readers. Why not try clearly communicating what you want instead?

How to do that:

Set the context by summarizing the situation

Explain what you want and why

Describe the benefits to the other party of adapting your idea

Ask for their thoughts.

Communicating your needs clearly can save you a lot of grief. The other person will understand what you want and why. Then, they will work with you to find solutions that meet both of your needs.
