How to Talk to Your Boss

You want to step up in your workplace, but your Boss is a little intimidating, or you're just a little afraid to say the wrong things.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A bit of confidence

1. Gather what you want to say and write it down. "I want to say this, this and this."
   
   Remember it well because you don't wanna babble and move around from "Umm" to "Uhh, there was something else, hold on."
   
   Telling your boss to hold does not exhibit good communication, and wasting their precious time is not attractive to them.

2. Present yourself clearly and make sure you're confident in what you want to say.

3. Look them in the eye when you greet them, and then maybe glance away for a bit as you begin explaining what's on your mind. And then as you're finishing, look back at them again.

Tips & Warnings

• E-mail your boss ahead of time and schedule an appointment if he/she is really busy.
• Calling would possibly interrupt something they're doing, so avoid doing that.
