“It’s not possible for us to deliver this project before August.”
“We haven’t seen a decrease in participation.”
“We haven’t got a plan yet.”
The problem with these sentences is they are framed in the negative, which results in vague, muddled conclusions.
Framing things in the positive, however, provides clarity.
“It’s possible for us to deliver this project by the 15th of August.”
“We have seen stable participation rates averaging 25 people per session.”
“We’re committing to having a finished plan by the end of the week.”
Whenever you find yourself framing in the negative, see if you can flip it on its head and frame in the positive instead.
