Key idea
Being listened to is different from simply being given advice. A good conversation gives space to explain, clarifies what you mean and helps you decide what you want from the situation.
Questions to ask yourself
- What exactly is bothering me?
- What outcome do I want?
- What have I already tried?
- What is one practical next step?
When a conversation can help
A structured conversation can help you organize thoughts, consider options and decide on a next action. Talk To Me is not a substitute for licensed medical, legal, tax, investment or emergency services.
