The conversation agreement
All tools
What: A simple way to agree on a few ground rules before an important or sensitive conversation.
Why: Many conversations derail because we never agreed on how to talk to each other. Shared ground rules help both people feel safer and more respected.
How: Swipe through the cards and approve the rules you want. Then send the ready-made invitation to the other person via WhatsApp or SMS – they do the same exercise.
Swipe right to agree, left to skip.
