Description:
You walked out of the meeting replaying it. You should have asked for the raise. You should have pushed back on the deadline. You should have said something — and instead you said "I'll make it work." This is the script library you wish someone had handed you on day one. How to Talk to Your Boss gives you word-for-word language for the conversations that decide your career — adapted to the four boss types you'll actually encounter. No "build rapport" platitudes. No vague "communicate clearly" advice. The exact sentences to say, in the exact order, when the moment comes. What's inside: – The raise script: how to open, make the ask, and hold the number when your boss pushes back – The promotion script: how to make the case and get a specific path forward – Pushback that doesn't get you labeled "difficult": scripts for deadlines, extra work, and scope creep – The burnout conversation: what to ask for when you can't keep going at this pace – The mistake confession: the four-part order to use, and what not to say – The disagreement script: pushing back on your boss's idea without pushing back on your boss – The resignation conversation: leaving without burning the bridge, and what to say if there's a counteroffer Every script is adapted to the four boss types: the micromanager, the absent boss, the conflict-avoider, and the volatile boss. Same conversation, different language, depending on who you're dealing with. Perfect for listeners of How to Talk to Anyone, Never Split the Difference, and Crucial Conversations. This audiobook includes a free companion PDF with all scripts written out. The next conversation is yours. You'll know what to say. Duration - 3h 13m. Author - Nathan Soren. Narrator - Sean Lester.
