What Happens to Your Voice When It Matters?

You probably don't struggle to communicate all the time.

It is more likely to happen when something is at stake: a relationship you value, someone's opinion of you, a boundary you need to hold, a decision you disagree with, something you need to ask for, or a conversation whose outcome you cannot control.

This isn't a test of whether you're a "good communicator". These questions look at what happens before, during and after those moments: what you think, what you feel, what you actually say and what happens when the other person reacts.

Answer based on what you really tend to do, rather than what you think you should do.
