Coach: “What’s the real challenge here for you?” “What do you need to get to an estimate?”

Offer help: “What do you need to get unblocked?” “Let’s sit down together and see if we can figure this out.”

Hold them accountable: “I understand, but we need to be keeping our partners up to date.” “Can you give me a date for a date?”

Teach: “Here’s what I recommend…”
