Key phrases to focus on who! “I am willing to consider that you may be right – but I
need more information…”
“I can tell this is important to you. Can you tell more about what this means to you?”
“Before we continue to disagree, what is it we agree on?”
“Can I have some time to process this so that I can give you a thoughtful response?”
“Did I?”
