You know the one I’m talking about.
The raise. The deadline extension. The “Can we talk about my role?” moment.
It’s been sitting on your to-do list…
Right next to “Learn how to negotiate in English without freaking out.”
But what if I told you—this conversation doesn’t have to be scary?
Not if you have a simple plan.
Here’s my 5-step “keep-it-friendly-and-clear” cheat sheet:
1️⃣ Know what you want. (Crystal clear. One sentence.)
2️⃣ Start with a soft opener: “Would you be open to discussing…?”
3️⃣ State your need: “Here’s what I’d need to move forward.”
4️⃣ Invite collaboration: “Can we find a version of this that works for both of us?”
5️⃣ Breathe. You’re having a conversation, not a courtroom battle.
The best part? You don’t need perfect English to pull this off. You need clarity and kindness. And you already have both.
Negotiating isn’t a fight. It’s a chance to align goals—with confidence and respect.
You’ve got this. (Really.)
