You may not feel ready to have an important discussion, but someone might push you into it. You would rather have all the facts straight and a plan of what to say to make yourself as convincing as possible, but there may be no time for all of that. You need to see that you already feel and understand what needs to be said, and you won’t need a formal speech or agenda to get this right. In fact, if you speak from the heart, you are likely to be far more convincing!
