Talk To Someone New At Work

Connection practice

Use this when

Start with what can be observed: the conversation may need to stay professional enough to document, revisit, or hand to someone else later. Then decide whether someone new at work needs a request, a boundary, a repair, or a pause.

You are trying to protect the working relationship while keeping the facts clear enough to revisit or document later.

• The issue is specific enough to name as someone new at work.
• You can pause, choose timing, and leave room for the other person to respond.
• You want wording that keeps the conversation narrow instead of turning it into a verdict.

Try this before the conversation

2. Choose whether the next move is a request, a boundary, a repair, or a pause.
