Quick Tips: “My perception is…”

Starting with “My perception is…” can feel less of an attack, and more of a sharing. Try ending with something like, “Did I get that right?” Then lead into a productive conversation of what is right for all parties involved.

“My perception is that you aren’t wanting to help me on this, did I get that right?”

“My perception is you don’t want to listen to me on this at all, did I get that right?”

“My perception is we need to re-evaluate what we are doing here and why, what are your thoughts?"
