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.

A clearer follow-up
Sayable
I wanted to check in about the timeline for the proposal. I know you have a lot going on, so no rush—
Hi Maya, I'm following up on the proposal timeline. Could you let me know whether it is still on track for Friday? Thanks for the update.

Start with the moment

The workplace conversations that make you pause before hitting send.

01

Ask for clarity

Turn a vague request into a clear next step without sounding difficult.

02

Set a boundary

Protect your time with wording that is firm, calm, and workable.

03

Follow up

Nudge a stalled decision, task, or invoice without the apologetic spiral.

04

Give feedback

Name what needs to change while keeping the relationship intact.

05

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?”

Free sample

“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.

How it works

A simple path from stuck to sent.

Use the script as-is, make a quick edit, or combine lines until it sounds like you.

01

Pick a situation

Start with the exact conversation you need to have—follow-up, boundary, feedback, or a clear no.

02

Choose a tone

Find the version that fits the relationship: warmer, more direct, concise, or more formal.

03

Send it

Add your details, read it once, and move the conversation forward with less mental rehearsal.
