  • Structure
    A clear beginning, middle and end that’s easy to follow.
  • Relevance
    You answer what the situation actually needs.
  • Confidence
    Direct language, no “maybe” or “I think”.

    Few “um”, “like” or “basically”. Pauses instead.
Coach tip

Reflect what you heard. Ask an open question. Don’t jump to fixes.
