Strategic communication is not manipulation — it's empathy in action. Before any high-stakes conversation, effective communicators consider what the other person already believes, what emotions the conversation may trigger, and how to open the discussion. A coaching example illustrates how reframing the same message by first understanding the manager's perspective turned a rejected idea into immediate buy-in. Being direct and being strategic are not opposites; thoughtful framing is what allows honesty to land.
