Why debate?
A raise, a client pitch, a decision your team needs to make. Get better at explaining what you want, answering pushback, and keeping the conversation useful. Try it with people who are there to practice, too.

Explain the trade-off
Choose your evidence
Try a position, get a response, and find the gap in your reasoning while there is time to try again. Practice gives the next difficult conversation a familiar shape.
Say what you want someone to accept. Give them one claim they can follow and a reason that supports it.
Pick the strongest challenge to your case. Explain why it changes your conclusion, or why your conclusion still holds.
Use the time you have, pause when you need to, and finish the thought before adding another one.
Ask whether you differ on the facts, the values, or what should happen next. Each calls for a different reply.
Build the best case you can for a position you did not choose. Notice which reasons are harder to answer than you expected.
When a fair point lands, say so. Adjust your claim and explain what you still disagree about.

Work through the warm-up below, then take your answer to the coach for another reply.
