If you frequently find yourself in challenging conversations with other people, rethinking how you structure those conversations can help you have more control over the result of those conversations. An investigation into the fundamental source of a problem is typically the first topic discussed in a typical talk. This type of inquiry saps the vitality of the group and frequently makes the issue even more difficult to solve. Instead, use a positive frame to enliven the other person and change the outcome of the conversation by changing how it is framed. By adhering to the "10-second rule," you may transform your conversation into an experience that is fruitful and welcoming to all parties involved.

You might be able to move the conversation away from the negative and toward ideas that are more practicable if you concentrate on the outcomes rather than the problems. To influence the outcome of your conversations, you can choose from one of eight strategies.
