Communicating when need more time

if unsure about something and need some space to think it through, say that
If something was sprung on you and you think it deserves more attention, say that.
Tell them you need to look into it and get back to them
If your gut is a no, but you aren’t sure why, say that. Just say what’s up - “my initial response is a no, but let me think about it and I’ll get back to you later.”

Disagreeing

Work to increase comfort w/ the discomfort of disagreeing
Journal about why you feel the discomfort w/ disagreeing that you do
When we disagree, it doesn’t always mean the other person is wrong, it just means you see it differently than they do. That’s not an insult to them as a person. It’s being honest. And it’s how we grow, it’s how we build, it’s how we sharpen ideas, companies, technology, etc.
Use journaling to try and reshape how you think about disagreeing 🙂
