Be prepared to talk to your boss

Write down all the topics that you want to discuss and make sure you know what you need from your boss.

Anticipate questions your boss may ask you about your work or project and have answers or next steps to take ready.

Figure out the challenges your boss may encounter and offer solutions. Executive Coach International Pte Ltd – www.liveyourmark.com

Before meeting your boss

Cool off from your emotions when heated. Maintain an even and professional tone throughout.

Practice good body language. Be calm and relaxed, don’t fidget.


While talking to your boss Give facts instead of opinions.

Keep updates short and to the point.

Be specific in what you need.

Focus on solutions and manifest them with facts and your resources.

Be assertive, not aggressive. Use good manners.

Be open-minded and open to compromises.

Have a positive attitude.


How to talk to the boss

Consider your tone.

Use qualifying words, such as ‘perhaps’ and ‘maybe’, rather than absolute words like ‘always’, ‘all the time’, ‘every’, or ‘never’.

Make ‘I’ statements, say ‘I need guidance’ instead of ‘You didn’t give me any guidance’.

Listen actively. Ask if you missed a point.


General interface with your boss Keep your boss informed. Your boss doesn’t like surprises, it’s better to find out through you in advance.

Meet your boss frequently. Keep your boss updated on progress, good and bad news, and needed support.

Don’t get mad at your boss. Your boss may have other information to encounter for a decision.

Embrace feedback from your boss and use it to increase your performance.


If you still find it difficult to communicate with your boss, work with a Professional Coach to overcome your obstacles and achieve greater happiness and satisfaction.
