Conversation Planner

Set yourself up for a productive Mutual Understanding conversation. Work through the stage, your goals, how you’ll open, the questions you’ll ask, and how you’ll listen — then take the plan with you. Everything stays private in your browser.

Set the stage

Showing you’ve thought about them encourages good faith.

Your goals & opening

State your goals explicitly. Clarity is kindness.

Questions to ask

Tap any to add them to your plan — the goal is to understand, not to win.

While I listen

Reminders for the hardest part of the conversation.
