Most hard conversations do not go wrong in the middle. They go wrong in the first sentence, or they never start at all. These 40 cards give you the actual words: 10 openers, 10 ways to say how you feel without blame, 10 clear asks and 10 phrases to repair and close. Every card has a “use it when” note and a follow-up line on the back. A filled planning example and a blank planner help you prepare one talk in ten minutes, and the phone edition keeps the cards in your pocket for the moment itself.

- People who keep the peace and then carry what they did not say
