Inviting people to say yes

From Adam Grant on Twitter  

 Pressuring people to say yes today often leaves them more likely to say no tomorrow.


"I need to talk to you" implies an obligation.

"I'd love to talk to you" is an invitation.


"I need your help" imposes a burden.

"I'd value your help" respects freedom and shows  gratitude
