Questions to consider about your setup and invitation to meet –

Where? Is it noisy, crowded, have you got good coverage?
Time allocated – are you cramming it in between meetings?
Making this important or am I ticking a box?

Intention is very important because our intention gets attention and focuses us.

Set a personal intention

Do you need to be right?
Are you open to listening to their point of view?
How you want to show up/who you want to be – how you want to behave/respond
How you want to listen – curiosity, openness, understanding

Set intentions for shared conversation and hear each other’s intention for the conversation, for instance,

Understand what happened
Hear each other more clearly
Be open and less reactive
Learn about your own triggers
