Great read, Raviraj! powerful tips and great supporting visuals! I really like the focus on the core message first and how smooth you avoid asking unnecessary questions by paraphrasing.

I loved the examples, especially the ‘reframing the question’ ones. Too often when asked ‘Didn’t you do X??’ I succumb to the temptation to just answer ‘No’ because I’m annoyed. This doesn’t do any good for the long term 😅

Yea I have those temptations too! But found my way out of it.

Though one of the best compliments I got after a frustrating meeting was - I didn’t look annoyed at all!

That’s a great compliment 😂

The best I’ve got is “you’ve managed to be nice!” 🙃

I just hate stupid questions, and even more when people don’t pay attention and the ask stupid question…

In that meeting, I was very patient, and explained the “No” 3 times, while it was clear to everyone I want to kill the PM 😅
