Both guides, start to sustain: the language for meeting someone and building something real, then the language for keeping it real years in. Forty scenarios, one continuous arc, at a better price than buying them separately.
Twenty scenarios from moving in together to renegotiating what's fair five years in — money, chores, family, intimacy, the fight you keep having in slightly different clothes. Ready-to-use language for the conversations that are easier to keep avoiding than to actually have, and harder to keep avoiding the longer you wait.
Twenty real dating and early-relationship moments — the profile that doesn't sound like a sales pitch, reading mixed signals, meeting the family, the first real disagreement — each with ready-to-use language for square pegs who'd rather show up as themselves than perform a version of dating that doesn't fit. Nothing to memorize. Just the words, when you need them.
All three Meeting Survival guides, 60 scenarios total: what to say when you're speaking (Series 1), what to do with everything happening in your head before, during, and after (Series 2), and how to read and steer the room when no one's officially in charge (Series 3). Everything a meeting actually puts you through, covered — at a better price than buying them one at a time.
Twenty real conflict moments that happen both at work and in social settings — being interrupted mid-point, receiving harsh feedback, the conversation that goes off track, knowing when to let it go — each with the situation, what makes it hard, the unspoken rule underneath, and ready-to-use language. For disagreeing, setting boundaries, and having the hard talk without losing yourself or the relationship in the process.
20 scenarios for noticing what's actually happening — Caught in the Crossfire, The Meeting Hog, Making Space for someone who's gone quiet, Reading the Room, Executive Drop-In, Leading Without Authority, and more — each with the situation, what makes it hard, the unspoken rule, and Square Peg Moves for stepping in without a title that says you're allowed to.
20 real meeting moments — including The Interruption, The Hot Seat, The Idea Theft, Disagreeing Up, The Ambush Question, Owning the Miss — each broken into the situation, what makes it hard, the unspoken rule underneath it, and Square Peg Moves: ready-to-use language for that exact moment. For getting your point across clearly the first time, not the version you think of on the drive home.
50 cards, both editions, for the moments that call for the right words in work and social situations - fast.
Work: what to say when you're interrupted, when you need to disagree with someone senior, how to correct someone without embarrassing them, how to ask for a raise.
Social: starting a conversation with a stranger, escaping one gracefully, forgetting someone's name mid-handshake, the friend who won't stop talking.
Every card: the situation, the mindset, and a line you can actually say — covering communication, meetings, professional presence, leadership, and career moves on the Work side; meeting and mingling, conversation, and everyday interactions on the Social side. Better value than buying the two sets separately.
25 cards for the actual moments a workday is made of — being interrupted mid-point, feedback that stings, disagreeing with someone senior, protecting focus time before your calendar eats it, asking for a raise. Covers communication, meetings, professional presence, teamwork, leadership, career moves, remote work, and the parts of workplace social events nobody prepares you for.
