great script. Consider your
audience and your message and
write your own script when you
are preparing for an important
conversation.
21
22. Your script
What is my desired outcome? What is their desired
outcome?
How much time will I have and in what setting?
What do they need to know before we speak?
What is the arc of this conversation?
And after: what happened and what are the next
actions?
22
23. The arc of a good conversation
Everyone involved in the conversation
understands the purpose of the
conversation.
Background information is offered or has
been seen before the conversation.
There is regular exchange so that
everyone is confident they are talking
about the same thing.
There is a clear understanding about
what happens next.

24. Communicating with Different Stakeholders
Who has the power to help, or hinder, your planning or
program?
What does he/she care about?
