Free resource for leaders building teams
Knowing how to start can make a difficult conversation easier to have. I've put together 60 conversation openers to help you give honest feedback, hold people accountable, and work through disagreements with care. Get the 3 PDFs free when you join The Long Game, my newsletter.

20 Scripts on Feedback: for raising small issues, giving feedback you've put off, and telling someone exactly what they did well.
20 Scripts on Accountability: for missed deadlines, problems that keep happening, and taking responsibility when you're the one who fell short.
20 Scripts on Conflict Resolution: for helping two people work through a disagreement, pushing back on a decision, and talking about something you've both been avoiding.
I'm the CEO and owner of a global technology consulting business I've spent over 6+ years building, which is now bootstrapped and profitable.
Most leadership advice tells you what to value. It rarely tells you what to say on Monday morning, when someone's underperforming and you don't want to spend the trust you've built. These 60 scripts are the openers I reach for in those moments, across feedback, accountability, and conflict, so the hardest part, the first sentence, doesn't get improvised.
These are the same scripts I use to lead C-Serv, a team of A-players working together across 15+ countries.
