Workplace scripts
Better words for the conversations that matter at work.
Ready-to-send scripts for people who know what they mean but overthink how to say it. Clear, considerate, and easy to make your own.
Practical wording for real conversations—not generic advice.
Start with the moment
The workplace conversations that make you pause before hitting send.
Ask for clarity
Turn a vague request into a clear next step without sounding difficult.
Set a boundary
Protect your time with wording that is firm, calm, and workable.
Follow up
Nudge a stalled decision, task, or invoice without the apologetic spiral.
Give feedback
Name what needs to change while keeping the relationship intact.
Decline extra work
Say no to a new request without overexplaining your whole workload.
Before
“Sorry to ping again! I know you're busy, but I just wanted to see if maybe there was any update on this?”
“Hi Jordan, I'm following up on the update from last week. Could you let me know where things stand when you have a moment? Thank you.”
A better starting point
The words you meant, without the second-guessing.
A good script does not change your point. It gives it shape: enough context, the right level of warmth, and a direct ask.
