Nothing wrong with reasoning respectfully but you have to have an agenda to assertively orchestrate why you’re doing it and realize that if you always say things without backing them up, you don’t have any legitimacy

Everyone can do it tho. Its all boundary-setting and enforcing. You figure out what you want and what you need, enforce the needs, and negotiate down the wants on both sides of the table. You have to make sure you get what you need but that you are flexible on the “nice to haves” as long as everyone is being heard and validated on the needs and again, the wants are open to negotiaton but you gotta be practical and never mistake the two
