You've probably heard these before...
"What would you do if it was your mom?"
The question that quietly asks you to step outside your role.
"Can you just tell me she'll be okay?"
When certainty is the one thing you can't honestly give.
"How much time does he have?"
When the weight of the answer feels impossibly heavy.
There's rarely a good answer ready when it happens. This free guide gives you three, plus the thinking behind each one, so the next time it catches you off guard, it doesn't catch you empty-handed.
What's inside:
- The exact question, broken down for why it's designed to trap you
- A warmer script and a more direct script for each one
- The one principle underneath all three, so you start spotting the pattern before it happens again
