In initiating a conversation, it's important to first check if the other person is available by asking, "Do you have time to speak right now?" This approach shows respect for their schedule and allows for a more meaningful dialogue. If the response is negative, you can express the importance of the information you wish to share by saying, "I have some valuable information to share with you. What time would work best for you?" This not only conveys urgency but also invites them to choose a convenient time.

This strategy emphasizes the significance of communication and planning in interactions. By being considerate and proactive, you set the stage for a productive exchange. Susan C. Young's book, "The Art of Preparation," advocates for such thoughtful approaches in order to create positive impacts in our conversations and relationships.
