Relationship Reset: Fix It Before Five — Game Guide

Tension doesn’t fix itself—people do. This quick game turns today’s lesson into reps: address conflict early, directly, and kindly.

How to play: You upset 5 people. For each scenario, choose the best reset. You’ve got 25 seconds each. Green wins the moment; yellow is awkward; red makes it worse.

Why it matters: Silence feels safe but steals trust. A clean reset—naming the moment, your intent, and inviting a fix—restores the relationship and the work.

Chapter Highlights — Tension Without Toxicity

Chapter Phrase
“Disagree cleanly, not quietly.”
Why this matters

Silence feels safe in the moment — but it steals trust one shift at a time. A short, kind reset protects relationships, work quality, and your reputation.

The 3-Sentence Reset (copy + use)
1) Fact: “Hey, yesterday in the meeting we stepped on each other’s points.”
2) Intent: “I value working with you and want us in sync.”
3) Invite: “Can we reset how we pass the mic next time?”
Tip (Simon Sinek style): “This is a little awkward for me, but I care about how we work together.”
Do
  • Help first, talk second (small act opens hearts).
  • Own impact, not just intent.
  • Keep it short, private, and forward-focused.
Don’t
  • Wait and hope it “blows over.”
  • Blame, defend, or perform the apology.
  • Make it about winning — make it about the work.
